Abstract
Bio diesel from various species of Algae has been in the discussion for a long time, this work is on collecting a macro algae and extracting the oil from it. Converting the oil in to bio Diesel is done by Transesterification method and the testing was made on a Diesel Engine. The Performance, combustion, and emission characteristics of Esters of Gracilaria verrucossa algal are mentioned here. Using Methanol as alcohol and NaOH as catalyst the transesterification process was done.Engine test was conducted at injection timings 20° BTDC, 23° BTDC and 26° BTDC with blends B10 and B20.The result shows there is increase in Brake thermal efficiency, Peak pressure and NOx.The carbon emissions were less when compared with those of the Conventional Diesel.
