Abstract:The engine community is searching for novel fuels concerning sustained availability with superior properties to traditional engine fuels. From the seeds of Ziziphus mauritiana, vegetable oil is extracted and transesterified for improvement in its properties as engine fuel. The properties of the oil qualify it for engine applications. This investigation has been carried out on a 5.2 kW, 1500 r/min, eddy current loading compression ignition engine. Engine runs at different loads on neat Ziziphus mauritiana oil b… Show more
