Investigating Emissions Profiles of a Conventional Diesel Engine Fueled by Ziziphus Oenoplia Methyl Esters

The current experimental work intends to briefly describe the feasibility of Wild jujube Ziziphus-Oenoplia Methyl Ester (ZOME)as an ideal substitute energy source for operating the diesel engines with native aspiration for studying the effects of emissions characteristics. Seeds were crushed to extract oil by deploying a mechanical expeller. The extracted Wild jujube seed oil is processed for purification and allowed for performing a two-stage transesterification method for transforming into biodiesel. The test fuels, such as ZOME20, ZOME40, ZOME60, ZOME80, and ZOME100, were prepared along with baseline diesel at working ambient conditions for the experimental investigations. The observations during the experimentation indicated how CO, HC, and opacity of smoke display lower values by 5.7%, 8.1% and 4.9% respectively than baseline diesel owing to effective vaporization.
