Popis: | The ever-increasing demand of dwindling fuel has caused researchers worldwide to search for non-renewable sources. Depleting oil reserves, stringent environmental norms and fluctuating prices of petroleum-derived fuels have directed toward renewable sources energies like solar energy, wind energy, biofuel and so on. In this context, bio-origin fuels, such as biodiesel, are very promising and results in energy security and has environmental benefits. The aim of this work is to produce the biodiesel from waste vegetable frying oil, particularly soybean oil. India is one of the largest importers of soybean oil in the world. Subsequently, disposal of waste oil is a huge concern. Therefore, this paper provides an insight of the method employed for biodiesel production from waste soybean oil by transesterification reaction. The main objective of the present investigation was to evaluate suitability of waste soybean oil biodiesel (WSOME) as a blending stock in a compression ignition engine. Fuel blends with neat diesel (D100) on volumetric basis were prepared and they remained homogenous even after three months and no significant change was observed. The calorific value, kinematic viscosity and density of blends were found to decrease with increasing percentage of WSOME in D100. Therefore, it could be concluded that waste soybean oil biodiesel is a potential alternative fuel to be blended with diesel for CI engine application. |
