Abstract

In this present work, a novel blend of biodiesel is used to investigate the performance and emission characteristics of an unmodified diesel engine. Pongamia Pinnata is used to extract oil and transesterification process is done to reduce its viscosity. Different fuel blends were prepared using biodiesel which includes D20 blend with diesel, K20 blend with Kerosene and M20 blend with Methanol, the fuel prepared were used in the engine to analyse the performance and emission characteristics of the engine. The results were compared with the standard fuel mineral diesel. A considerable increase in brake thermal efficiency is observed for D20 blend. The blend K20 shows considerable improvement in the performance as well as reduction in the emission when compared to all other fuels.
