Comparative Study of Different Biodiesel and its Operating Characteristics: Review Study

Abstract

The uncertain availability and rising price of conventional fuels have caused research to shift away from producing conventional fuels and towards producing renewable fuels. A typical method makes it possible to obtain biodiesel, a renewable fuel. Waste cooking oil (WCO) was trans esterified using heterogeneous catalysts to make biodiesel. The paper deals with the comparative study of the different biofuels available in the market and the optimum utilization of the resources for production with higher engine performance. This research paper studies the employability of biofuels in diesel engines in different operating conditions using different types of catalysts. The investigations show the three different types of fuels Ultra Low sulfur diesel, 30% by volume blend of Rapeseed Methyl Ester (RME), and 30% by volume blend of Hydrogenated Vegetable oil; test depicts the comparative properties of the fuel using three blends.
