Mahua oil methyl ester was synthesized from mahua oil using trans-esterification with potassium hydroxide as a catalyst. The essential fuel attributes of mahua biodiesel blends were compared to those of full speed diesel and biodiesel standards. The variation of specific fuel consumption (BSFC), brake thermal (BTE), Pmax, CO, NOx, hydrocarbon, and smoke opacity across compression ratio, blending ratio, and load was effectively analyzed utilizing response surface approach based on a Central composite rotatable design. Trends corresponding to the general theory of compression ignition engines (CI) were obtained. Optimal performance and emission parameters were found by taking into account the key variables impacting the diesel engine. During the procedure, Analysis of variance was analyzed to calculate both 'F' and 'P' values for absorbed variance data and the value of ‘F’ was 54.28% B20 at CR 14 blend and the ‘P’ value was <0.0001 whereas the break thermal efficiency was 42.19% and the specific fuel consumption was noted 0.09 Kg/kWhr at load 9kg. At optimal input variables, a significant decrease in emissions was seen at a blending ratio of 23% when compared to neat diesel.
