Abstract

An experimental investigation will be carrying out to analyze "Characteristics and comparison of diesel and biodiesel produced from a Neem." The Neem oil methyl ester is derived with the using of transesterification process and its properties are validated against ASTM standards and found within limits. The literature review is focused on experimentally investigating the influence of Ash content , Moisture , Specific Gravity at 400c , Kinematic viscosity at 400c, Acid value , Calorific Value , Flash point, Distillation curve , Cetane number, pour point, cloud point, low temperature flow test(lift), cold filter plugging point with diesel fuel .
