Abstract
Energy is a basic contribution for social and economic development. The energy strategy of a nation goes for productivity and security and to give access which being environment friendly and accomplishment of primary resources for energy generation. Petroleum fuels will keep on playing a predominant part in the area of energy in our country in couple of few decades. However, traditional or petroleum fuel resources are
limited, non-renewable, polluting and, accordingly, should be utilized judiciously whereas renewable energy sources are indigenous, non-polluting and its availability is unlimited. In this way, their utilization ought to be supported in every possible way. The aim of this present work is to extract biodiesel from a new non edible oil known as calophyllum inophyllum (tamanu oil). The retained finished biodiesel is further blended with the reference baseline fuel i.e. diesel and ethanol in proposed percentage and to test the performance parameters such as brake power, brake specific fuel consumption, brake thermal efficiency, and emission characteristics (exhaust temperature, smoke density)
experimentally on 4.4kW rated power, single cylinder four stroke compressed ignition engine. Then few of the experimental results are validated using two zone, zero dimensional model after discretizing empirical correlations with forward difference method and solving the same in matrix laboratory (MATLAB) and some other important theoretical results such as bulk in-cylinder pressure, in-cylinder temperature, heat release rate, power, torque, work done etc. at different loads are analysed.
