摘要：The gradual depletion of petroleum based fuels and the impact of environmental pollution led theresearchers to search for an alternative fuels. One of the best alternatives is Biodiesels obtained from differentvegetable oils. The present study focuses on comparison of performance and emission characteristics of a singlecylinder four stoke diesel engine with two different biodiesels namely Karanja and Cotton seed biodiesels blended withdiesel separately. The performance of the engine with biodiesel blend B20 as fuel is compared with the diesel fuel onthe basis of brake specific fuel consumption, brake thermal efficiency, exhaust gas temperature and emissions ofhydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen. This study reveals that the performance of the engine with these biodiesel blendsdiffer marginally from diesel and hydrocarbon emissions are less than diesel. It is also observed that the cotton seedbiodiesel blends are showing better performance and emission characteristics as compared with Karanja biodieselblends.
