Abstract: | Biodiesel, an alternative fuel, is made from animal and plant fats. As far as energy is concerned as demand grows and fossil fuels become scarce, research is focused on alternate renewable fuels. The key benefits of utilising this alternative fuel are its renewable nature, biodegradability, and improved exhaust gas quality. It is competitive in terms of technology. For use in Deisel engines, an ecologically beneficial alternative to regular petro diesel fuel. Biodiesel decreases reliance on imported fossil fuels, which continues to rise in price. Biodiesel generated from edible or non edible vegetable oil via the transesterification process can be used as a bio origin fuel. The majority of biodiesels qualities are comparable to those required for Diesel engine fuel. The cost of generating methyl or ethyl esters from food oils is currently more expensive than hydrocarbon based diesel fuels due to the comparatively high cost of edible oils. If we use non edible oils instead of edible oils, the cost of biodiesel can be decreased. Jatropha non edible oils are widely accessible. Furthermore, the usage of non edible vegetable oils is significant since edible oil is in high demand as a food source and non edible vegetable oils are too expensive to be utilised as fuels. The transesterification technique is used to make methyl esters from non edible oils and to assess the fuel characteristics of those oils and their methyl esters. The current study examines the possibility of transesterification of Jatropha Algae oil from the standpoint of process technology and diesel engine application. The impact of process factors on transesterification product yield has also been investigated. newline newline newline newline |
