Abstract

Biodiesel is an alternative fuel of diesel, is described as fatty acid methyl ester from vegetable oil or animal fats. The main objective of our project is to reduce higher viscosity of pungam oil by Transesterfication and to increase the performance and emission characteristics of diesel engine. By using the biodiesel from pungam oil, the performance test of biodiesel blend (B5, B10, B15, B20, B25, B30) in 650 rpm mechanical loaded CI engine is tested. By using different blends we have identified the engine parameters such as brake thermal efficiency, specific fuel consumption, and mechanical efficiency. In this finally we have resulted which blend is better and which consumes less fuel.
