modelling and analysis of compression ignition engine by artificial neural network using biodiesel

mechanical engineering

Bio diesel, which is defined as a mono alkyl esters of long chain fatty acids derived from biological sources like vegetable oils and animal fats, which is proposed to replace a significant percentage of petroleum diesel in this century. Moreover bio diesel produced from oil seeds, vegetable oil cannot meet realistic need and it can be used only for a small fraction of existing demand for transport fuels. Increasing energy prices, energy and environment security concerns about petroleum based fuels are drawing considerable attention among researchers to find an alternate source of fuel [2]. High prices coupled with the paucity of petroleum reserves and environmental concerns have sparked a search for renewable engine fuels. As most of the developing nations are agricultural nations, producing plenty of oilseed crops and production of vegetable oils will not be a difficult task. In the present investigation blends of cotton seed oil and diesel oil have been chosen as a fuel for CI engine [2].
