Abstract:

The ester of karanja oil was prepared using a solid catalyst. Calcium oxide (CaO) was prepared by calcium carbonate (CaCO3). CaO was used to create lithium-impregnated calcium oxide or Li-CaO. KO was converted to biodiesel by the catalyst Li-CaO. The yield attained, at 60 °C and a 12:1 molar ratio of methanol to oil in 3 hours, was 95% by 4 % weight of Li-CaO. By combining 10, 20, 30, 50%, and 100% of KOME with diesel with a Compression Ratio (CR) of 17.5 and 15.4, an analysis of the diesel engine was conducted. At more CR, the engine performs better. Smoke and CO emissions decreased as CR increased. At 100% load, the blended fuel with the greatest BTE was 30.31% for BD10.

Keywords:
