Abstract

In the present investigation, a biodiesel derived from soybean oil with 1, 4-Dioxan was tested as an alternative fuel for agricultural diesel Engine. The performance and emissions studies were conducted for both neat and blended biodiesel (B25, B50, B75 and B100) with and without antioxidant and the comparison is also made with petroleum diesel. On using biodiesel, the emissions of HC and NOx were less compared to diesel. The brake thermal efficiency of B25+1, 4-Dioxan and mechanical efficiency of B50+1, 4-Dioxan is nearly similar to that of diesel.
