INDIGENOUS CASTOR OIL BIODIESEL AN ALTERNATIVE FUEL FOR DIESEL ENGINE

摘要: Rising petroleum prices, increasing threat to the environment from exhaust emissions and global warming have generated intense international interest in developing alternative non-petroleum fuels for engines. The present work aims find out prospects opportunities of using methyl esters castor as an automobile. suitability such transportation vehicles helps saving foreign exchange use can be made locally available resources. Tests were conducted on a four stroke, cylinder, D.I. diesel engine with Diesel Biodiesel. results emission tests smoke meter are compared 100% biodiesel (BC100) that neat diesel. No modifications done engine. indicate there is reduction 30%-35% density while It thus concluded oil used substitute fuel automobiles.
