Abstract
Biodiesel is an alternative fuel, which can replace diesel. Nowadays fossil fuels are creating a lot of pollution to the environment, so to minimize the causes and effects of diesel we can use biodiesel which can reduce pollution when compared to diesel. By using this biodiesel, we can perform the same operations that can be performed by the diesel since as per the literature survey the properties of the biodiesel are very similar to the diesel. Biodiesel can be prepared from animal fats and plant wastes. In this project, we are going to prepare biodiesel from custard seeds oil. Initially, oil is extracted from the seeds, to reduce the viscosity of oil, the transesterification process for oil is performed using methanol and KOH as catalysts to get ethyl ester and glycerol where glycerol is removed to form pure biodiesel. This biodiesel is blended with diesel in the B10(10%), B20(20%), B30(30%), proportions based on the diesel volume. Further fuel additives like Diethyl ether (DEE), and 1-butanol are added in at 5% and 10% to improve the ignition process. Performance, emission, tests are performed and the suggest results compared with the diesel to the better blend bio-diesel.
