Spray characteristics, engine performance and emissions analysis for Karanja biodiesel and its blends

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of blending ratio of Karanja oil methyl ester (KOME) on spray characteristics and to analyze the engine performance and exhaust emissions of Karanja biodiesel blend vis-a-vis baseline diesel. Spray characteristics were analyzed using injection rate and spray visualization experiments for the following injection pressures: 50, 100 and 150 MPa. Engine performance, emission and combustion characteristics were also investigated at various engine operation conditions.
