Characterization of Waste Cooking Oil Biodiesel &its Blends in Single Cylinder Diesel Engine

Mechanical Engineering

Conventional energy sources such as oil, coal and natural gas have limited reserves that are expected not to lose for an extended period. Biodiesel is receiving increasing attention each passing day because of its same diesel-like fuel properties and compatibility with petroleum-based diesel fueled engines. transeterification process is used to convert the vegetable oil , animal fatts oil into biodiesel.. wco oil and wco oil are considered for the study, After transesterification different properties are improved and that helps in improving the engine performance and emission performace of both oil physical and chemical properties such as calorific value, fire point, flash point, kinematic viscocity ,density are improved.The comparision of engine performance characteristics such as brake thermal efficiency,fuel consumption, exhust gas temperature etc and of emission characteristics such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon, nitrogen oxide on diesel engine for both wco oil are studied.the best blend can be used in future as good alternative fuel.
