Abstract

Depletion of fossil fuels prompts to pursuit of an alternate fuel. In case of internal combustion engines the principle concern is about better performance with fuel economy and with lower emissions. With current circumstance there is critical necessity of option fuel to supplant the quickly diminishing fossil fuel. Biodiesel is one of the best contrasting options to supplant the fossil fuel in diesel engines, which has properties nearer to diesel yet high consistency and low unpredictability of biodiesel execution is inferior. In present work, fuel from a Calophyllum Inophyllum and Pongamia pinnata is chosen as an alternate fuel. Performance characteristics like Thermal efficiency and Brake specific fuel consumption is studied under different load conditions. Better Biodiesel use in coastal areas is suggested.
