Investigation on compression ignition engine fueled by methyl ester of thevetia peruviana seed oil

Abstract

The problem of world energy supply is a hot topic at the moment newlineThis is not surprising since research shows that the oil resources are declining newlineand will become more difficult and expensive to recover This leads to the newlineneed for development of renewable energy technologies newlineEnergy from biomass and more specific biodiesel is one of the newlineopportunities that could cover the future energy demand This thesis newlineinvestigates the possibilities of the biofuel produced from Thevetia Peruviana newlinebeing used a fuel in a compression ignition engine Thevetia Peruviana is a newlineplant that grows in tropical region including India This energy crop has newlineseveral advantages it grows on degraded dry and wasteland it is toxic newline newline
