Effect of Compression Ratio and Fuel Injection Pressure on the Performance and Emissions of a CI Engine with Methyl Esters of Pongamia Oil
Abstract: Diesel fueled compression ignition engines are invariably used in light, medium and heavy duty applications. Heavy dependence on petroleum derived diesel fuel has led to the twin problems of loss of exchequer and environmental pollution. The intensive research revealed that transesterified vegetable oils could be the best substitute for existing diesel engines. The present paper deals with experimental investigations on a typical compression ignition engine when it was run at …

Predicting Rate Equation for the Synthesis of Octadec-9-Enoic Acid Methyl Esters by the Methanolysis of Pongamia Pinnata Triglycerides Using Sono Reactor
Abstract: In the present work, octadec-9-enoic acid methyl esters are synthesized from pongamia pinnata oil using methanolysis in sono reactor. The rate equation is predicted for the methanolysis reaction. The produced methyl esters from pongamia pinnata oil confirmed to ASTM D6751 standards. Fourier Transform Infrared Analysis and Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry were used to characterise the methyl esters. The rate is dependent greatly on methanol concentration, and then on catalyst concentration …

Utilization of Bentonite Clay Coupled with Potash for the Synthesis of Octadec-9-Enoic Acid Methyl Esters of Pongamia Pinnatatriglycerides
Abstract: Due to the ever increasing human population worldwide, especially in the developing countries across the world; renewable energy sources are in the primary focus of the scientists and researchers. In addition, the depletion of the reserves of the fossil fuels along with the increased consumption of the available reserves has led to wide spread global unrest. Complementing the above, there are significant environmental problems namely global warming due to increased …

An in-silico toxicity study of the phytocompounds found in Pongamia pinnata leaves using the ProTox-II web server
Abstract: The aim of the current study was to determine the Insilco toxicity of the phytocompound present in the leaves of Pongamia pinnata. The leaves of Pongamia pinnata have long been used in traditional medicine for their therapeutic properties. Nowadays, herbal toxicity is a common problem caused by incorrect dosage. The FDA reviews the safety and effectiveness of herbal products only in response to patient or health care provider complaints—problems with …

Experimental Study of Burn Rate and Mechanism of Burning of Karanja Oil Biodiesel and Diesel by Using a Porous Sphere
Abstract: Biodiesel is a renewable energy resource, which has the potential to reduce greenhouse emissions and to facilitate energy sustainability. It can provide an alternative to petroleum-based diesel. The combustion characteristics of diesel and biodiesel such as burning rate and flame shape are determined by using the porous-sphere experimental technique. Fuel has been transpired to the surface of a porous sphere. Burning of the fuel takes place on the surface of …
