Study on the performance of biodiesel blend Jathropa oil in a combustion system

In this study, pure Jathropa oil (a non-edible vegetable oil) being converted to biodiesel (Jathropa Methyl-Ester or JME) using esterification and trans esterification process and blended with diesel in a certain proportion to produce four different volume composition of Jathropa oil/diesel ratios ,...
