Abstract

Experimental investigation was carried out using Jathroph based oil in naturally aspirated diesel engine. Experiments are performed for pure diesel, pure biodiesel from Jatropha oil and 20% blending of Jatropha oil with diesel. The performance was carried out for three different engine load and emission characteristics were compared together with fuel consumption rate. The comparison of the resulting emission show that there is reduction in the emissions of CO, CO2 and HC using bio diesel fuel as well as 20% blending of biodiesel and small rise in the NOx. Also there is slight increase in the fuel consumption rate using biodiesel for the current load conditions.
