Exploration Of Mahua Oil (Madhucaindica Seed Oil) Biodiesel As A Fuel In Compression Ignition Engine: A Review

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to study the literature on Mahua oil (MadhucaIndica seed oil) biodiesel fuel synthesis, performance, combustion, and emissions.This exploration is characterized by various researches carried out on Mahua oil biodiesel as substitute for diesel to operate the diesel engine. The world's need for oil and gas has increased rapidly of increased industrialization and modernization. This growth in the economy has led to a significant increase in energy consumption, with fossil fuels including coal, crude oil, and natural gas providing the majority of that energy. However, due to the short supply of fossil fuels, many researchers are looking for possible substitute fuels that may be made from sustainable sources.Biodiesel has gained popularity as a result of its environmental advantages and the fact that it is biodegradable.
In this article, an attempt has been made to review the research works on mahua oil biodiesel production, performance, and combustion and emission characteristics and additivesand modified operating parameterseffecting characteristics of the engine.
