  • Can tamanu oil be used as an alternative fuel?
  • Among these oils, tamanu oil is considered for the first time as an alternative fuel. An experiment is conducted to obtain the operating characteristics of the variable compression ratio (VCR) engine run by chosen esterified oils, and the results are compared with esterified tamanu oil.
  • Is tamanu oil a good alternative fuel for a VCR engine?
  • The effective compression ratio can be fixed based on the experimental results obtained in the engine since the findings of the present research work infer that the biodiesel obtained from tamanu oil is a promising alternative fuel for direct-injection four-stroke VCR engine.
  • What is biodiesel & tamanu oil?
  • Biodiesel is a mono-alkyl-ester of long chain fatty acids derived from renewable feedstock such as vegetable oils by transesterification process. The esterified cotton seed oil, pungam oil, rice bran oil, and tamanu oil are chosen as the alternative fuels. Among these oils, tamanu oil is considered for the first time as an alternative fuel.
  • How much CO2 does tamanu oil emit?
  • The esterified tamanu oil emits higher percentage of CO 2 at high a compression ratio, less at lower compression ratios, and vice versa. More amount of CO 2 is an indication of complete combustion of fuel in the combustion chamber. The CO 2 emission is 3.3% at the compression ratio of 14 and 5.1% at the compression ratio of 18 for maximum load.
  • Does esterified tamanu oil emit CO2?
  • The CO emission of the esterified tamanu oil is found to be lower for high compression ratio of 18, and it is 0.18% at maximum load. The esterified tamanu oil emits higher percentage of CO 2 at high a compression ratio, less at lower compression ratios, and vice versa.
  • Can tamanu biodiesel be blended with diesel?
  • This study employed tamanu biodiesel, which can be blended with diesel to improve performance. Tamanu biodiesel was used in an unmodified CI engine for assessment. The production of biodiesel involves three main processes. The molar ratio was tested; the highest yield was obtained at 6:1 (86%).
