Experimental investigations into engine characteristics fuelled with hibiscus coconut biodiesel and its blends
Abstract:The world's fossil fuel sources are decreasing rapidly. Rising population growth needs alternative fuels. Biodiesel is an alternate and sustainable fuel obtained from different feedstocks. In this work, biodiesel was made from hibiscus-coconut oil by the transesterification technique. The aim of the present research is to investigate the emissions, combustion and performance characteristics of a single-cylinder variable compression ratio diesel engine fuelled with hibiscus-coconut biodiesel blends. The blends … Show more
