An Experimental Approach to the Performance Analysis of Diesel Engine Using Karanja Oil As Bio-Diesel

Authors(6) :-Deepu T, Jithin P, Ajith Kumar C Y, Akhil S, Biswajith V, Kailasnath K U

This paper explains about the performance analysis on diesel engine by using Karanja oil as biodiesel. The use of biodiesel is increasing day by day because the fossil fuels are depleting. In the proposed work, Karanja oil is used as biodiesel and is derived from the seeds of the Millettia Pinnata tree. It is prepared by alkali catalyzed transesterification method. The karanja oil is widely available in the southern parts of India and it seems to be a good additive to the diesel. After preparing the blend (B20) the Performance tests were conducted with single cylinder water cooled diesel engine.
