Study on Emission and Performance of Diesel Engine Using Castor Biodiesel

This paper presents the result of investigations carried out in studying the emission and performance of diesel engine using the castor biodiesel and its blend with diesel from 0% to 40% by volume.The acid-based catalyzed transesterification system was used to produce castor biodiesel and the highes...
