摘要：Man's transporting needs have always been dependant on derivatives of fossil fuels,chiefly petrol and diesel. These needs have greatly pressurized the scarcely available natural resources and are to become a luxury for the futur e generatio ns. This project aims at finding an alternative for diesel and reducing the pressure on its existing demand. Vegetable oils are renewable by nature and the non-edible category of these oils can be used as an alternate fuel to C.I. engines. In our project we have tried Rap eseed oil its ethyl ester and various blends of ethyl ester of rapeseed oil with methanol as the alternate fuel. The oil was procured and its properties was esterified by transesterifiction process in laboratory private limited, H yderabad to minimize the problems of volatility, viscosity and polyunsaturated characters which are unfavourable to engine operation. The engine was tested for its performance using rapeseed oil with vario us blends of the esterified oil with Methanol. Also, the emission characteristics of these blends were determined using an exhaust gas analyser. Finally, its performance and emission characteristics were evaluated and compared with that of pure diesel and it was found to be an effective alternate fuel with better emission characteristics.
