Performance Of 4 Stroke Diesel Engine Using Coconut Oil As Biofuel Material
Publication date: 2017 Source:Materials Today: Proceedings, Volume 4, Issue 4, Part D Author(s): V. Vara Prasad Biodiesel is an alternative fuel mainly produced from vegetable oil or animal fats. It is a renewable substitute of regular fuel. As a replacement of petroleum fuel it is much cleaner alternative. Its physical components are much similar to diesel fuel. Renewable sources are used to create biodiesel. Sources like new or used vegetable oil and animal fats are not toxic and can be broken down by living organisms using a special process. To complete the process an alcohol, mostly methanol is used to create a chemic...
