Abstract

This study focuses on analysis of an alternate fuel, which will control the increasing levels of emission affecting the quality of air. Biodiesel are produced from vegetable seed non - edible oil and also from animal fat. The seeds of Calophyllum Inophyllum are mainly available in Ramanathapuram district, India and they are used for extracting the biodiesel. Transesterified Calophyllum Inophyllum oil methyl ester (CIOME) is tested for the engine performance and emission characteristics of a diesel engine. Also, Rice bran extract from boiled rice bran oil is also transesterified to Rice bran oil methyl ester (RBOME) and it is also tested and compared with CIOME for engine performance characteristics and emission characteristics. The engine performance and emission characteristics of the ceramic coated diesel engine revealed that biodiesel blend of CIOME and RBOME results in improved performance in the engine characteristics. The significant NOx emission is reduced 7 to 22% was obtained for all CIOME compared to the RBOME and pure diesel
