EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION ON DIESEL ENGINE FUELLED WITH DIESEL AND BIODIESEL EXTRACTED FROM SESAME OIL

ABSTRACT Petroleum products resources are limited and their consumption is increasing very fast with globalization and high technology development since last decade. The emissions from the usage of these petroleum products polluting the environment considerably. The objective of this project is to prepare the biodiesel from sesame oil and for reduction of exhaust emissions by using biodiesel as blend with diesel in single cylinder diesel engine .in this work different percentage of biodiesel consider as a blends for diesel. The number of automobiles is increasing day by day especially in the metropolitan cities giving rise to pollution which is harmful to all forms of life. This makes it estimate and control pollution from vehicles. Bio-fuels can be produced from diverse sources, which are subject to local geography, topology and climatology. Hence, every nation will have its own choice of a source. This study investigates the potential substitution of sesame oil methyl ester blends for diesel as fuel for automobiles and other industrial purposes. This study is concerned with performance and emission characteristics of diesel engine fuelled with diesel and biodiesel extracted from sesame oil and comparing with petroleum diesel. The experimental result shows that 20% of blend shows better performance with reduced pollution. This analysis shows that sesame oil methyl ester and its blends are a potential substitute for diesel.
