摘要：

The interest on biodiesel research in India is mainly due to fluctuating crude prices, limited oil reserves and the strict emission standards. Cost, cleanliness and availability are the requirements for any biodiesel source. Here the experimental work has been carried out on a single cylinder, direct injection Diesel engine using Rice bran and Gracelariaverrucossa biodiesel blends under constant speed by varying the injection timings. The results show increased specific fuel consumption. The Brake thermal efficiency values of biodiesel are closer to Diesel. Compared to Diesel both the biodiesel blends give lesser unburnt hydrocarbons, Carbon monoxide and smoke emissions. Slightly higher NOx emissions were found in Biodiesel blends. When advancing the injection timing the performance and emission characteristics were good, compared to retarding it. (C) 2015Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
