“…Uncertainties are a common and vital measurement in any experimental investigation to verify the accuracy of the experiment that takes place because of the chosen instrument, calibration, environmental condition, observations, scrutiny, and testing plan [ 8 , 13 – 15 ]. The uncertainty of the existing engine performance parameters was analyzed using root-mean-square method.…”

“…Moreover, utilization of available biofuels would make an approach to strengthen the economy of the nation. A number of researchers [ 15 , 22 – 25 ] have documented the effectiveness of UME and UEE under the CI engine domain. As discussed earlier, in order to achieve lower exhaust emissions engine modification is required under a higher amount of replacement of conventional diesel fuel by biodiesel.…”

“…In order to meet with the scarcity of fuels in future, a driving force is required to enhance in fuel quality, self-reliance of energy demands with comparatively lesser noxious implication on the environment and augmentation of ruler economy. The diagnosis of energy needs and environmental issues related to the combustion of fossil fuels have motivated many investigators and researchers to find out the opportunities and predictions of utilizing renewable and easily available energy sources as an auxiliary fuel source to conventional fuels [ 14 , 15 ]. Recent research studies [ 16 – 21 ] resolutely manifest that the second-generation biofuel-based biodiesel can be an alternative to fulfill the present day to day energy requirements.…”

The current study emphasizes on the influence of nonedible, easily accessible Undi ester blended diesel in single-cylinder, four-stroke, naturally aspirated, direct-injection variable compression ratio diesel engine. All tests were accomplished by varying volumetric proportions of Undi methyl ester (UME) and Undi ethyl ester by 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50% and compression ratio (CR) from 16:1–20:1. The Undi esters consolidation to diesel, especially enhances brake thermal efficiency (BTE) and decreases brake specific energy consumption (BSEC) of the engine. In comparison with Diesel, ester fuel blends produce lower unburnt hydrocarbons (UHC), carbon monoxide (CO), and particulate matter (PM) emissions with the cost of higher oxides of nitrogen (NOX). With the increase in compression ratio from 16 to 20. All Undi ethyl ester diesel blends have on an average of 1.44% slightly improved brake thermal efficiency, 1.41% lower brake specific fuel consumption and it emits comparatively on an average 7.90% lesser carbon monoxide, 7.21% lower unburnt hydrocarbon, 0.59% lower particulate matter and 1.94% higher oxides of nitrogen emission than UME diesel blends with an increment in CR from 16 to 20. In addition, ester blends showed higher maximum In-cylinder pressure and heat release rate than commercial diesel. Undi ethyl ester blends show 0.82%, 1.08% on an average higher maximum In-cylinder pressure and heat release rate than UME Diesel blends when CR increased from 16 to 20. Undi ester Diesel blends are found to be utmost substitute to commercial diesel fuel in all features such as combustion, performance and emissions characteristics.
