Abstract

The performance and emission characteristics of the biodiesel -- diesel mix have been assessed using the energy audit method. The goal of this commentary is to get familiar with the examination of the performance characteristics of a diesel engine fuelled with biodiesel blends using energy audit technique. An examination of heat flow, brake-specific energy consumption, friction power, and smoke has been conducted. Efficiency can be enhanced by implementing this strategy, resulting in savings of both time and energy.

Keywords
