Impact of DTBP Additive on Performance of Mahua Biodiesel

ABSTRACT As the usage of conventional fuelsare increasing day by daydue to the increasing trend of vehicles running on roads, there is a problem of extinction of conventional fuels in nearby future. Alternative fuels are the best source to solve this problem. Biodiesels obtained from non edible oils is one of the best alternative fuels. Our research is blending bio diesel with dtbp additive to enhance the performance. A computer aided variable compression ratio engine made to run with blended biodiesels. By changing the percentage of mahua biodiesel blend with 15% variation i.e. M15, M30 and M45 with and without DTBP additive with concentration of 1%, the experimentation is done. The blend which is showing better performance among allother blends is the optimumone.
