摘要：With the limited reserves of fossil fuels coupled with global environmental pollution havestimulated the search for alternate fuel for diesel engine. In present study, non-edible vegetable oil such as Castormethyl ester were produced and blended with diesel fuel in different proportions. An experimental investigation wascarried out to analyze the performance and emission characteristics of a compression ignition engine fuelled withblends of Castor biodiesel and diesel fuel. Engine performance and emission analysis were performed using biodieselblends (2%, 5% and 10%) in 4.4 kW single cylinder air cooled four stroke compression ignition engine at differentloads. It was observed that performance characteristics like brake thermal efficiency (BTE), brake specific fuelconsumptions (BSFC) with 10% Castor methyl ester was closed to diesel fuel. The emission characteristics like CO,HC and smoke were lower compared to diesel fuel. However NOx emission was observed to be higher for Castorbiodiesel blends.
