In fast-moving world, energy crisis and waste disposal are increasing day by day. To overcome the energy crisis, it is crucial that we consume less energy. The world contains potential resources to meet the demand of energy apart from electricity, highest demand among all sources. Hence to gear up the use of alternative methods from the wastes into an alternate fuel. The transportation is playing a major role in economic growth and globalization, but cause air pollution in all medium. In regard to crisis, biodiesel production from locally available mix waste cooking oil, which can be an major alternative to production of biodiesel apart from food resources. The aim of this paper is to extract the biodiesel from mix waste cooking oil using conventional methods and study the performance of B20 biodiesel blends with respect to best fuel injection time (IT), Injection opening pressure (IOP) and number opening holes in injector using common rail direct injection engine (CRDI). The experimental studies showed that waste cooking oil methyl ester (WCOME) at 27 deg before top dead centre and IOP 240 bar, B20 blend gives better results and 5 holes 0.3 mm injector nozzle give 31.7% Brake thermal efficiency, 37 HSU smoke, 37 ppm Hydrocarbon, 0.115% carbon monoxide of volume and reduce in 2% of nitrogen dioxide without any modification of engine.

Due to the depletion of fossil fuels and increased awareness of environmental problems, the world is looking to use alternative fuels. This paper is aimed at the conversion of waste edible oil into diesel fuel, which can then be used in Compression Ignition (CI) engines. Production of edible oil was 7.6 million tonnes in 2013-14. Sunflower oil is used in majority of the houses and restaurants in India. So, the availability of waste sunflower oil in restaurants and houses is more compared to any other edible oil. Therefore waste sunflower was considered as potential oil which could be used as an alternative to neat diesel fuel. The properties of waste sunflower oil (WSO) were determined, which includes its specific gravity, kinematic viscosity, flash point, fire point, calorific value, cloud point and pour point. The waste oil was initially refined using transesterification process and again the physical properties of refined waste sunflower oil (RWSO) were determined. An experimental study was conducted to evaluate and compare the performance and emissions of different blends (B15,B20 and B25) of RWSO on a four stoke diesel engine. The results indicate that blend B20 is an optimum fuel blend in terms of increased engine performance and reduced emissions compared to neat diesel fuel.

The worldwide market estimation of biodiesel is extended to outperform in future. The developing conspicuousness of biofuels as an alternative source instead of customary petroleum products is the critical factor to enhance the market development. Expanding use of biodiesel in power age and automotive fuels is likewise extended to enhance market development over the estimate time frame. For single injection strategies adopted on the performance evaluation of CRDI facility operated engine fueled with waste mix cooking oil (WMCO) B20 blend comparing with the neat Diesel Extraction of Biodiesel from WMCO collected from local area through transesterification test rig is satisfactory. Properties of B20 WMCO biodiesel were determined using ASTM standards were comparable to Diesel fuel. Single injection assisted CRDI engine fuel injection at optimized conditions showed improved overall engine performance at 80% and 100% engine loading operation respectively. For Diesel and B20 WMCO biodiesel, IT of 10ObTDC, IP of 900 bar, and with more number of holes showed excellent performance and were selected as optimized parameters. Retarding the IT from 15° to 10°bTDC increases BTE and reduced emission except for NOx and lower ID, CD and PP, HRR are increased respectively. With keeping IT of 10°bTDC and increasing IP from 600 bar to 900 bar led to further improvement in overall engine performance. Finally increasing the injector holes from 5 to 8 result in the enhanced engine performance with both Diesel and Biodiesel respectively.
