Performance and Emission Analysis of C.I Engine using Rice Bran Oil Biodiesel as an Alternative Fuel

Now a day we are depending on fossil fuel such as petrol diesel andcoal for energy and power generation. But they are depleting at faster rate and also it has been estimated that they will be available only for the next 25–30 years. Also the cost and emission levels are high. So we are in need to shift to other alternative energy sources such as Biodiesel, Biogas, Solar energy, Wind energy etc. Rice Bran oil is the one of the alternative energy source that can be used in C.I engine without further modifications in the engine. This paper is focused on biodiesel production from Rice bran oil and the performance and exhaust emission characteristics of the engine. We are decided to use various blends of Rice Bran oil biodiesel and varying the injection parameters such as injection pressure and injection timings to increase the performance of the engine and also to decrease the emission from the engine.
