Experimental Study on Mahua Bio-Diesel – An Alternative Source of Green Energy

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the present era there is a great need of green energy. Domestic and industrial requirements depend on the conventional energy sources which are depleting and polluting atmosphere. Many sources of green energy are under research to meet the required demand. In the present experimental work, performance of Mahua bio-diesel is studied and its pollution level is checked by emission test. The test results are compared with that of pure diesel.
