Assessment of diesel engine characteristics fuelled by Jatropha with tamarind seed oil biodiesel
The present experimentation is carried out on a diesel engine using biodiesel as a fuel. The combination of lemongrass and tamarind seed methyl ester has replaced the diesel at various percentages. This investigation used three blends of biodiesels i.e. 10% of mixed methyl ester and 90% of pure dies...
