Abstract: Global Energy Consumption or World Energy Consumption is increasing significantly over the last years. Persistent use energy sources and rapid advance of technology strides towards degradation of natural habitat and infiltrates the living quality of human beings, need of the hour is to look for suitable alternative fuels. Biodiesel has a great potential to completely replace conventional diesel. Biodiesel has a neat and clean combustion, higher cetane number, no aromatics, no sulphur and contains enough oxygen (10-11% by weight). The abundance of cottonseed oil in India has inclined the present research to be on cottonseed oil biodiesel using diethyl ether as an additive to improve the performance of variable compression ratio diesel engine. Addition of DEE to cottonseed oil biodiesel increases the Brake Thermal Efficiency and reduces the Brake Specific Fuel Consumption of an engine at all the compression ratios(i.e16-18).
