Abstract

For use in diesel cars, biodiesel is a renewable, clean-burning fuel manufactured from used cooking oil, animal fats, or recycled restaurant grease. Compared to petroleum diesel, biodiesel emits fewer harmful chemicals and greenhouse gases. A blend of B2 (2% biodiesel, 98% petroleum diesel), B5 (5% biodiesel, 95% petroleum diesel), B20 (20% biodiesel, 80% petroleum diesel), and B100 (pure biodiesel) can be utilized instead of using it in its purest form. VCR engine operating at different CRs of 16:1, 17:1, and 18:1 with B20 blend of sea mango biodiesel. The B20 blend's test findings were then contrasted with those of diesel, which was run at the recommended CR (17:1) ratio. The BTE of the B20 mix was nearly comparable to diesel at typical CR. Even though the BTE of the B20 blend was lower than diesel at CR 16:1 and 17:1, it increased by 5.12% at CR 18. Higher CRs led to improvements in the SFC and EGT.SFC and EGT values for the mix were discovered to be higher than those for diesel at CR 16:1 and 17:1. When compared to diesel, the blend's SFC and EGT were, however, reduced at CR 18:1 by 6.6% and 3.01%, respectively.
