Volume : II, Issue : VII, August - 2012 Biodiesel: The Use of Vegetable Oils and Methyl Esters as Alternative Diesel Fuels![](ArticleImage/No_Image.jpg) Venkata Ramesh Mamilla, M.V.Mallikarjun and G.Lakshmi Narayana Rao Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : On the face of the upcoming energy crisis, vegetable oils have come up as a promising
source of fuel. They are being studied widely because of their abundant availability,
renewable nature and better performance when used in engines. Many vegetable oils
have been investigated in compression ignition engine by fuel modification or engine
modification. The vegetable oils have very high density and viscosity, so we have used the
methyl ester of the oil to overcome these problems. Their use in form of methyl esters in
non modified engines has given encouraging results.
Vegetable oils and their derivatives are attractive as alternative fuels, fuel extenders, and
an additive for compression ignition (diesel) engines because they also enhance engine
performance. Worldwide there is interest in biodiesel as a renewable transportation fuel
and blending agent. Biodiesel has the potential to displace petroleum, lower net global
warming gas emissions from the transportation sector and reduce the mass and
carcinogenicity of particulate matter emissions. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : Venkata Ramesh Mamilla, M.V.Mallikarjun and G.Lakshmi Narayana Rao, (2012).
