Abstract: The experiments are conducted with mahua oil methyl ester 1% DTBP enhancer and compared with standard diesel. The methyl ester was prepared from mahua oil by transesterification process. The produced fuel was blended with 1% DTBP along mineral diesel in various proportions for conducting experiments in conventional diesel engine. Generally, emissions will be reduced when additives are added in the methyl ester. The current work is carried with mahua oil methyl ester along with an enhancer DTBP, which is the promising additive in controlling NOX as it reduces the ignition delay during combustion. The other emissions such as CO, CO2, HC and opacity have reduced more after adding DTBP. Thus, it helps the global economists to setup perfect solution to the pollution problem and serves as a brilliant substitute for the conventional fuels.
