The present energy scenario depicts the fossil fuel crisis along with the detrimental effects on the environment caused by exhaust emissions like HC, CO, CO2, and NOX, and particulate emissions. Fossil fuels are considered to be the primary source of greenhouse gases (GHGs) which is the leading origin behind the universal environment deprivation. The present work represents the comparative study of combustion characteristics and exhaust emission in unmodified diesel engine utilizing low percentage of methyl esters of edible oil (waste cooking oilWCME) and non-edible oil (linseed oil-LME) at compression ratio 17 and 18. The comparative studies of peak pressure inside the cylinder, heat release rate and exhaust emissions like HC, CO, CO2, and NOx, have been made during conduction of the various experiments on a 4-stroke unmodified diesel engine. All results of alternative fuels are compared with standard diesel.
