Abstract
The cost of crude oil, limited resources of fossil oil has been a renewed focus on vegetable oils and animal fats to make biodiesel fuels. The increasing energy demand in our day to day life causes depletion of available diesel. The experimental fuels are contained in single cylinder water cooled diesel engine under the various load conditions to evaluate the performance and emission parameters of the engine. Finally karanja oil 15-20%blends of karanja oil with 5-6 Ethanol along with 80-85% diesel is used as a fuel and the engine performance and emission characteristics will be analysed. The results prooved that the mixing of biodiesel with ethanol additive improves the parameters and reduces the CO and HC emission as compared to other fuels.
