This article is a comparative study of use of mineral diesel and biodiesel derived from cotton
seed oil of Pakistani origin. The main problems associated with biodiesel are, its very high
viscosity and specific gravity, which are due to long chain triglyceride esters with free fatty acids.
The esters are converted into simple structure mono-glyceride esters via transesterification
process. The experiments were carried out using blends of diesel and biodiesel with different
ratios, to investigate the performance characteristics of engine and exhaust emissions. The
experimental results show that the engine using B100 resulting in about 10% higher brake
specific fuel consumption and about 10% lower brake thermal efficiency as compared to the use
of B0. The engine emissions were almost free from SOx
, having reduced amount of CO, CO2, and
THC, but having higher amount of NOx
, when B100 was used as fuel. The fuel is becoming more
popular due to the reduction in nasty pollutant emissions.
