The use of bio diesel in the conventional diesel engine is gaining a lot of importance due to its environmental benefits
obtained in terms of pollution. The emissions obtained in the diesel fueled engines basically are Carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons,
particulate matter and NOx. The control systems for these emissions include diesel oxidation catalyst, diesel particulate filter and
selective catalytic reduction. However, these control strategies again increases the burden to the conventional diesel engine in
terms of cost and maintenance. So in-order to utilize all the available resources from the oil plantation crops, the production of
bio diesel came into existence where a variety of oil seeds were processed for the preparation of bio diesel to be used in the
conventional diesel engines.
