Abstract

Biodiesel, derived from the transesterification of vegetable oils or animal fats, is composed of saturated and unsaturated long-chain fatty acid alkyl esters as a renewable, sustainable and alternative fuel for compression ignition engine, biodiesel instead of diesel. The scope of the project is to find the engine performance and characteristics using biodiesel of cotton seed oil like Brake Power (BP), Specific fuel consumption (SFC), Brake Thermal Efficiency (BTE),indicated thermal efficiency and emission test. . The experiments are carried out with cotton seed oil biodiesel with different combinations like 15%, 25%.B15 blended fuel(15%cso+85%diesel) shows better performance which is very close to neat diesel fuel and also increases the BTE and reduces BSFC and having lower emission without any engine in design modifications.
