Comprehensive Review of Karanja & Jatropha Biodiesel Fuelled Diesel Engines

Abstract

The globe has been compelled to develop other fuels due to emission restrictions, the depletion of oil reserves, and rising prices of petroleum fuels. The rapid development of the automobile sector has resulted in an increase in demand for petroleum-based fuels. Petroleum-based fuels have a finite number of reserves. Biodiesel is a viable alternative fuel and has qualities that are similar to diesel fuel. By combining it with diesel, it can be a suitable fuel in diesel engines. Biodiesel, which is usually made from non-edible oils like jatropha and karanja, has sparked a lot of interest as a diesel engine alternative fuel. When compared to edible oil, non-edible oil are not used in human nutrition and could grow in barren lands. The goal of this study is to provide a review of the performance, combustion, and emission characteristics of jatropha and karanja biodiesel fuels as alternative fuels for diesel engines.
