EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION ON LINSEED OIL METHYL ESTER FUELLED DIESEL ENGINE

The look for an alternative fuel has prompted numerous discoveries because of which a wide assortment of alternative energizes are accessible available to us now. On the basis of fossil fuel energizes around the world never just brought about the consumption of traditional sources of energy supplies. Transesterification is one of the technique which utilizes ethanol or methanol, within the sight of an impetus, for instance, catalyst like potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide in order to split the particle of the oil into a glycerol and ester. For compression ignition engines, the Methyl Ester of Linseed oil (MELSO) which is tolerating extending thought as an elective fuel. In the present research, raw linseed oil is changed into their particular methyl ester all the way through transesterification method. Biodiesel is a non-hazardous, eco-friendly and sustainable fuel with the possibility to lower the exhaust emissions of the engine. In the present exploration, the blends of altering proportions of linseed oil without transesterification and transesterification of linseed oil blends be used to run a single cylinder diesel engine with DC generator, furthermore evaluated the performance parameters of the biodiesel imitative from non-edible linseed oil in a diesel engine.
