Emission characteristics of single cylinder diesel engine with algae oil as bio-diesel

Abstract

This paper involves entire studies based on the production, fuel characterization, emission characterization of Algae oil biodiesel and its blends Blend20, Blend 40, Blend 60, and Blend 80 were successfully conducted after free fatty acid test and Transesterification Process. Single cylinder of four stroke diesel engine is opted for the emission characteristics of the algae biodiesel, emission characteristics of CO, CO2, NOx and HC on Brake power are evaluated for different diesel blends. Results are evaluated, compared and tabulated.
