Abstract:Non-edible biodiesel extracted from jatropha oil is broadly studied to solve the twin problem of reduction of fossil fuels and environmental degradation. The present study is conducted on unmodified variable compression ratio (VCR) diesel engine for exploring the effect of biodiesel blends. The performance characteristics of Jatropha oil are compared with diesel fuel at two compression ratios 17 and 18. The viscosity and density are 23% and 3.9% higher with respect to diesel for pure jatropha methyl ester and … Show more
