ABSTRACT

The main fuel for transport is diesel. It adds to the success of overall economy, as it is widely used due to its high efficiency in combustion, versatility, unwavering quality and cost-effectiveness. One of the major sources of air pollution on the Earth is emission from diesel engines. Over the years, the need for biofuels has enabled Momordica charantia seed oil to become biodiesels. Momordica charantia seed oil having low calorific value than other biodiesels made it an alternative for diesel which shows lower emission and improvement in performance characteristics. In this exploration work, to study the emission and performance characteristics of biodiesel, four blends of Momordica charantia seed oil with cerium oxide added substance are investigated. The results showed that B30 (69% diesel, 30% biodiesel and 1% cerium oxide) performs better than different blends.
