The experimental research on diesel engine characteristics with annona squamosa biodiesel

Initially, the German scientist, Rudolf Christian Karl Diesel has run the engine with vegetable oil. Further engines are developed with diesel as fuel. But now a days due to different factors again vegetable oil come into the topic. The factors may be scarcity of fuel, hike of fuel prices and diseases due to pollution etc., However the pure vegetable oil doesn’t suitable for the current engines that’s why we have to blend the vegetable oil with diesel. By using these blends, experiment can do without any modifications of the engines. This research was done the annona squamosa (Custard apple) seed oil blends with different proportions, named as ASME10, ASME20, ASME30, ASME40. Among them ASME20 showed better results at peak conditions in performance and emission point of view. It showed brake thermal efficiency as 32.88% and NOX emission was 1091ppm which less quantity as comparing with other tested fuels in the investigation. Therefore, the Annona squamosa biodiesel blend ASME20 is recommended for the future diesel engine applications.
