Introduction

Biodiesel is made from 100% renewable recourses and it is

considered as the fuel of future.

It is made from vegetable oil through a process called

transesterification.

Conclusion Diesel-RK gives s realistic results and trend match

well with experimental results.

The slight quantitative difference is due to the fact that Diesel-RK uses 1-D modeling and experimental results are 3-D in nature.

With increase in biodiesel share in the blends:

Brake thermal efficiency decreases and BSFC increases

NOx and CO2 emissions increase

Smoke and PM emissions decrease
