摘要：In the present study an experimental investigation was carried out with Mamey Sapote oil as analternative fuel in a compression ignition engine. The problems associated with fruit seed oil are high viscosity, lowvolatility and high reactivity, but at the same time their higher cetane number, lower sulphur content and higher oxygenconcentration are the desirable properties to use as a fuel in compression ignition engines. The process oftransesterification of fruit seed oil with methyl alcohol provides a significant reduction in viscosity, thereby enhancingthe physical properties of fruit oil. The current paper reports a study carried out to investigate the combustion,performance and emission characteristics of Mamey Sapote oil methyl ester with diesel fuel on a single-cylinder, fourstroke,direct injection and water cooled diesel engine. This study gives the comparative measures of brake specific fuelconsumption, brake power, brake thermal efficiency, mechanical efficiency, volumetric efficiency, CO, CO2, HC,NOx and smoke opacity. Mamey Sapote Biodiesel was blended at 5%, 10% , 15% and 20% ratio with diesel fuel in thepresent study. The results indicate that the CO and HC emissions were lower than diesel at 15% of MSO, and NOxemissions decreased up to 20.5% for 15% MSO when compared with diesel. From the investigation it can be concludedthat biodiesel can be used as an alternative to diesel in a compression ignition engine without any engine modifications.
