Abstract The modern scenario reveals that the world is facing energy crisis due to dwindling source of fossil fuels. Biodiesel which is an alternate fuel, is produced from virgin or used vegetable oils, both edible and non-edible. Without any further changes it can be used in compression-ignition (diesel) engines. There is a big demand to produce bio diesel in India and supply of this oil is becoming necessary. In India, as edible oils are less in supply, non-edible seeds of karanja, Jatropha, Mahua and Neem are found as the sources of neat vegetable oil and biodiesel. Plant species, which has a certain amount of oil in their seeds or kernel, have been identified. Cashew Nut Shell Oil (CNSO) is produced from waste shell collected from Cashew Nut Industry by additives and processes. Bio fuels produced are blended with diesel with same percentage of 10%, 20%, 30% and 40%. Properties like fire point, viscosity and calorific value are found. Analyses of properties of blends of bio fuels are done. Dynamic …show more content…
Bomb calorimeters have to withstand the large pressure within the calorimeter as the reaction is being measured. Electrical energy is used to ignite the fuel; as the fuel is burning, it will heat up the surrounding air, which expands and escapes through a tube that leads the air out of the calorimeter. When the air is escaping through the copper tube it will also heat up the water outside the tube. The change in temperature of the water allows for calculating calorie content of the
