Performance of CI Engine Fuelled with Waste Cooking Oil as Biodiesel

Due to the rapid increase in the usage of automobiles and other heavy vehicles there is a lot of demand for the conventional fuels whose reserves are depleting in a rapid manner. Hence the Diesel engines with better fuel economy and high Brake Power output significance has been increased. Diesel engines are used for bulk movement of goods, powering stationary/mobile equipment, and to generate electricity more economically than any other device in this size range. The emissions caused by diesel engines such as CO2, CO, NOX and HC have to be considered. To reduce the emissions the properties of the present fuel have to be improved. Thus Alternate fuels came into main role since there is a great demand for the fuels which give higher power output with low emissions. The Non edible oils which are derived from vegetables are very hopeful alternate fuels for diesel engines because they are renewable, clean burning and have properties analogous to diesel. This book is about Experiment carried out on the single cylinder 4-stroke CI engine using Waste cooking oil as biodiesel using pyrogallol as Anti-oxidant.
