Abstract
This work investigates the impact of hexanol as an effective oxygenated additive on exhaust emission on biodiesel fuelled diesel engine. Transesterification process has followed to yield Mahua oil methyl ester (MOME) from raw Mahua oil using sodium hydroxide as a catalyst. Test fuels used are Diesel, Mahua oil methyl ester (BD100), 10%, 20% of Hexanol (BD90H10, BD80H20) incorporated MOME respectively. This work was carried out in a single cylinder four stroke diesel engine. Results showed that by the addition of hexanol with biodiesel shows considerable reduction NOX, carbon dioxide (CO), Hydrocarbon (HC), Smoke emission.
