Performance Testing of Diesel Engine Using KME and DEE Blends with Kerosene: A Review

ABSTRACT The scarcity of traditional fuel such as petrol, diesel etc. may raises the problem of vanishing it in very early years. So the Biodiesel extracting from edible and non edible seeds like kusum(Schlichera Oleosa), palm, jetrofa etc. Are great substitute for diesel after blending in suitable proportional in diesel. Physicochemical properties characterization a mixture of biodiesel and kerosene were carried out to investigate their potential use as a substituted diesel fuel for domestic purposes. Biodiesel is mixed with kerosene to bring many of the beneficial characteristics to be a substituted diesel fuel. Overall physicochemical characteristics of blending fuel were reduced by the increasing of kerosene concentrations. Kerosene can play a role as a diluents agent to reduce the characteristic of cold flow properties of biodiesel with Diethyl ether as an additive.
