EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS OF EMISSION AND PERFORMANCE ON VCR ENGINE USING PALM OIL BIODIESEL

The growth of any developing country will depend upon the use of petroleum fuels, in various areas as like industry, aviation, transportation, power production etc. The demand of energy has increased with growing of world population.Consumption of energy is proportional to the progress of the mankind. Till date primary source of energy is fossil fuel which is main fuels for thermal power, however the finiteness of fossil fuel reserve and large scale environmental degradation caused by their extensive use, air pollution, acid rain, global warming also there is a fear that they will get exhausted from the earth. Therefore other systems based on nonconventional and renewable sources are being tried by many countries based on solar, wind, and biomass, tidal, geothermal and hydro.Among the various alternative fuels being developed, the biodiesel has received special attention because itis easy to produce from available and renewable sources (vegetable oils and animal fats), safe to handle and use, eco-friendly, and miscible with petroleum diesel in all proportional for use in existing diesel engines without modification.
