Abstract: There is an increasing interest in world to search of alternative, renewable and environmental friendly fuels. In this context vegetable oils are proposed to be promising alternatives to diesel, as they are produced in rural areas. Transesterification of vegetable oils is carried out using methanol and sodium hydroxide. The properties of biodiesel are determined and nearly match to that of diesel. The Mustard Oil Methyl Ester (MOME) has been tested in a single cylinder four stroke diesel engine coupled with eddy current dynamometer. The performance parameters such as brake specific fuel consumption, brake thermal efficiency, unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, smoke density and NOx emissions are evaluated. It is observed that performance is slightly reduced when engine runs on biodiesel. It is noted that there is reduction in HC, CO and smoke density. significant changes in the combustion parameters observed in case of biodiesel blends. Study reveals the effect of bio-diesel on a DI engine when compared to diesel and evolves conclusions with respect to performance and emissions.

Mustard oil methyl ester, performance, exhausts emissions.
