Experimental Investigation on Diesel Engine Fuelled with Blends of Coconut and Neem Oil

The way that oil based fuels will neither be accessible in adequate amounts nor at a sensible cost in future has restored in investigating substitute fuels for diesel engines. Therefore, vegetable oils are utilized as a substitute fuels for compression ignition engines. The present work contemplated the attainability with two blends produced using coconut and neem oil with requirement of diesel for mixing and also the physicochemical properties of the mix be determined. Upon mixing the properties of fuel were essentially changed and acclimated towards ordinary particulars. Diesel is utilized as a control. A single cylinder kirloskar diesel engine with DC generator is selected for this investigation. The purpose of the present investigation is to find out the performance characteristics of diesel engine utilizing the blends of coconut and neem oil. Mixing of coconut and neem biodiesels with utilizing diesel formed attractive properties of fuel. In conclusion, the dual biodiesel blend B50 gives enhanced performance compared to all other blends. Therefore, the blend B50 is taken as optimum blend.
