In present days industries are growing at a rapid rate and so as the usage of the diesel. The fossil fuels are limited in nature, the increased usage of diesel is resulting in the depletion of its reserves this gives rise to the need of alternative fuels. Due to low specific fuel consumption and supreme power efficiency it has vast applications compared to other fuels but NOX and smoke has seriously causing problem to environment. For this the Palmyra oil has same properties of diesel with varying compression ratios effects the performance and emission characteristics are evaluated. In this process step wise increase of CRs from 16 initially .Then increases EGRs of 0%,5% and 10% and studied performance and emission characteristics. There is improvement in engine efficiency during EGR increment and at low load .There is simultanesly decrease in NOX emissions . The single cylinder four stroke variable compression performance and emissions can be varied.. when fuel is pure diesel,b15and b35 of Palmyra oil is examined and bear with standard automobile usable diesel was conducted at compression ratio of 16:1 at the degrees of 19 and 23 degrees. The influence of Palmyra oil like compression ratio on fuel consumption ,brake thermal efficiency and exhaust gas emissions like NOx and hc has been investigated .the overall optimum is found to be b15 biodiesel –diesel blended for compression ratio of 16 at different exhaust gas recirculation such as 0, 5 and 10. The same experimentation is done for other blends B15 and B35 with palmyra oil. All the values are compared with each other. The configuration which achieved highest Break thermal efficiency is compared to the common diesel engine configuration used and the advantages and the disadvantages are listed out


Work has been carried out using four stroke single cylinder diesel engine with retrofit attached with fuel injector and at optimum injection pressure 210 bar and 230 BTDC. The main purpose of using retrofit is to achieve HCCI (Homogeneous charge compression ignition) with which emissions can be reduced. Four Variants of retrofits were used and with V-cut type retrofit it was found that there is reduction in toxic emission like CO and NO but there was slight increase in HC emission when compared with normal fuel injector. Engine performance was compared with normal injector and injector with V-cut and it was found that Break thermal efficiency was increased by 0.25% at full load and 1.53% at 80% load and specific fuel consumption decreased by 0.01%.
