Production of BIO-Diesel from Neem oil and It's performance and emission Analysis in Diesel Engine.
Abstract
Neem (Azadirachita Indica) is a tree. As we know Neem a nature’s gift it categorized in to non edible oil and mainly used in medicine and cosmetic product. Biodiesel has been gaining increased attention from engine researcher in view of the energy crisis and increasing environmental problem.
We purchased the oil to the Vellore market oil as a raw product after that to remove moisture content we heated oil for five at the temperature 100 degree Celsius temperature after that we conducted taste of 1ml oil+10 isobutanaol+2-3 methyl orange indicator from we defined the quantity of NAOH has to add with oil after that we added 20 ml Methanol for 100 ml of oil and conducted experiment at magnetic stirrer for 45 minute and maintained temperature between 45-60 degree. Later cooled down oil and kept in to separating funnel and after 24 hr we got a thick layer of glycerin and removed it after that by taking oil in to funnel with the hot water we washed the oil till that when we got wash water similar as normal water and after neutralizing it we will have to do checking of oil properties and final step we have to check performance analysis.
We will investigate Diesel and Bio-Diesel blended oil in 4-stroke single cylinder diesel engine. Bio Diesel derived from Neem oil considered for this work with different blend ration. Such as 10% 20% 30% by volume. Experiment will be carried out as said Bio Diesel and with diesel to evaluate the performance. Combustion and emission characteristic we will evaluate and result will be compare.
Expected to Complete Paper up to 10th April 2012.
Keywords- Combustion Characteristic, Diesel-Bio Diesel, Blend .
