Performance on CI Engine Fuelled Honge Biodiesel Blended with Diesel

Present work includes preparation of HOME by honge oil and blending it with the diesel to use as CI engine fuel. Performance tests were carried out on single cylinder four stroke water cooled CI engine connected to an eddy current dynamometer with different percentage of HOME blended with the diesel at variable loads and constant rated speed. And found that H20 & H40 blends have relatively higher BTHE as that of neat diesel similarly volumetric efficiency of H20 is closer to neat diesel. Whereas peak pressure for neat biodiesel i.e. H100 is slightly higher than that of neat diesel.
