摘要：In the present days the price and usage of petroleum products are increased more and more, due to thisthe search of alternative fuels has gain more importance in order to replace it. Coming to the diesel engines the bestalternative fuel is Biodiesel, because it can be used directly without changing the engine modifications. The methylesters of vegetable oil are known as Biodiesel. That means the fatty acids present in the vegetable oil are mainlyresponsible for the production of Biodiesel. The methyl esters of palm oil can be derived through Transesterificationprocess. Experiments have carried out to examine the properties of palm oil biodiesel, performance and emissions ofthe engine with different blends (20%PBD, 40%PBD, 80%PBD, and 100% PBD) at different fuel injection pressures(190, 210, and 230bar) and the results obtained are compared with diesel (base line test values). A “computerizedvariable compression ratio multi fuel direct injection water cooled engine” is used for the performance analysis. Themain parameters considered for the performance analysis were Brake power and Brake thermal efficiency. Indus SixGas Smoke analyzer and Smoke Meter were used for Emission analysis. The parameters considered for the emissionsanalysis were percentages of Carbon monoxide (CO) and Nitrogen oxides (NOx), because those are the very dangerousgases.
