The oil crisis of the years 1900 generated a renewal of attention for new types of energies known as renewable for the operation of the machines and the thermal engines. The fuel's production based on vegetable oil require a renewal attention about the research of replacement fuel for the design and opeating of machines and thermal engines. Actually, the scientific world takes an interest in the research of others liquids fuel obtained with renewable energy sources whose vegetables have a good place. So, for helping to solve the fuel problem and particularly in third world countries without petroleum resources but producing fruits and oils seed, this research was about search of fuel with vegetables oils. Extraction realised and physico-chemical analysis performed on vegetable plant of Ricinodendron Hidelotii show an interesting energy aspect. Evaluation of actually energy parameters permit to use this oil as a fuel for operating of thermal engin. One carries out design and analysis of thermal engines based on combustibles coming from biomass like ricinodendron (akpi) which is a vegetable oil producted in Côte D'Ivoire.
