These conventional sources of energy are depleting in nature and may be exhausted near the middle end of this century. The diminishing and continuous increasing cost of petroleum resources associated with their alarming pollution levels from diesel engines has caused an interest in finding renewable, alternative and suitable fuels to diesels fuels of bio origin can give a feasible solution for this problem. Diesel engine being life line of the society operation can be made to run on bio fuels. In this project bio diesel is produced by using cotton seeds. Free fatty acid content & viscosity of the oil is reduced by the chemical reaction called esterification and transesterification process. Characteristics of the bio diesels such as calorific value, viscosity, flash & fire point are determined by using the apparatus available in the laboratory. The performance, smoke test and the combustion characteristics of the various blends proportion of the bio diesel with diesel are obtained from the experiment conducted on the computerized VCR engine with data acquisition system.
