Abstract
The methyl esters of vegetable oils, known as biodiesel are becoming increasingly popular because of their low
environmental impact and potential as a green alternative fuel for diesel engine and they would not require significant
modification of existing engine hardware.
Methyl ester of Pongamia (PME), Jatropha (JME) and Neem (NME) are derived
through transesterification process.
Experimental investigations have been carried out to examine properties, performance
and emissions of different blends (B10, B20, and B40) of PME, JME and NME in compari
