Abstract

Experimental degradation and scarcity are the main problems associated with petroleum derived diesel. Biodiesels are emerged as an alternative in recent days. Many edible oils derived biodiesels giving good performance and less emission compared to diesel but it will cause hike in the price of edible oils. Present work concentrated on generating biodiesel from non-edible oil (Linseed oil) by two stage transesterification process. The biodiesel properties were compared with diesel. Compression ratio is fixed in conventional engines. To achieve the higher efficiency and good performance change of compression ratio is used. The effect of compression ratio was studied on diesel engine without any modification with linseed biodiesel as a fuel. The optimum parameters were found to prepare biodiesel from the crude linseed oil .The prepared biodiesel has 5.4% less calorific valve than the diesel and 23.5% higher kinematic viscosity. UHC and CO2 were less in case of biodiesel (B20). Higher compression ratio is better for biodiesel as it is showing better performance and less emission.
