Abstract
Due to the excessive use of petroleum-based fuels in industry and automobiles, the world is currently facing serious problems such as the global energy crisis, environmental pollution and global warming. As a result, there is growing global awareness of how to prevent the fuel crisis by developing alternative fuel sources for engine applications. Numerous research programs are currently underway to replace diesel with a suitable alternative fuel such as biodiesel. Non-edible sources such as Mahua Oil, Karanja Oil, Neem Oil, Jatropha Oil, Simarouba Oil, etc. are designed to produce biodiesel. Fatty acids such as stearic acid, palmitic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid are commonly found in nonedible oils. Vegetable oils mixed with diesel fuel in various proportions have been experimentally tested by many researchers in different countries. In developing countries like India, these inedible vegetable oils are easy to grow, but it is not economically feasible to convert them to methyl esters through various chemical processes. The purpose of this article is to perform a combustion analysis of biodiesel obtained from waste palm oil and used cottonseed oil, where the two biodiesels are mixed in equal parts, i.e. a total of 10% biodiesel blended with 90% compressed diesel. Gears 17 and 18 at an engine speed of 1,500 rpm.
