Abstract

These days biodiesels are an advancement for substitute employments of petroleum derivatives. In this work, an experiment was carried out at 1500 rpm in a CI engine, where Undi biodiesel was utilized at a proportion of 10 and 20% in 90 and 80% diesel, respectively. The analysis was directed in a diesel engine at 4, 8, and 12 kg loads. The engine parameters such as BThE, UHC, and NOx of the used two blends were compared with diesel. UHC emission resulted less for both blends compared to diesel at max loads. BThE was higher for 10% biodiesel and 90% diesel, however, NOx was higher for the two mixtures compared to diesel. Analytical hierarchy process (AHP) was additionally executed to discover the most effective fuel mix among all the fuels (pure diesel and 10, 20% mixtures of the Undi biodiesel with 90 and 80% diesel, respectively), which were implemented within the engine and the AHP model demonstrated Blend 1 (i.e., Undi biodiesel 10% and diesel 90%) was the optimum fuel within the utilized fuel mixes.
