Abstract The present research evaluates the efficiency of transesterified Olax scandens oil for bio-additive to petroleum diesel. The extracted Olax oil was degummed and esterified to reduce the acid value for the transesterification reaction's suitability. The transesterification process was critically assessed by considering the effect of methanol concentration, reaction time, temperature and alkali concentration on FAME's (Fatty Acid Methyl Esters) yield. The fuel properties have been determined and engine performance tests have been executed for probable usage as bioadditive. The transesterified Olax oil blends showcased better engine performance studies flashed better runtime with load (more than 120% relative performance), lubricating and emission efficiency with lowered CO, CO2, and NOx over the intact petrodiesel.

作为生物添加剂的酯交换 Olax scandens 油：生产和发动机性能研究

摘要 本研究评估了酯交换油菜籽油作为石油柴油生物添加剂的效率。对提取的 Olax 油进行脱胶和酯化，以降低酸值，以便进行酯交换反应的适用性。通过考虑甲醇浓度、反应时间、温度和碱浓度对 FAME（脂肪酸甲酯）产率的影响，对酯交换过程进行了严格评估。燃料特性已经确定，并且发动机性能测试已经被执行以可能用作生物添加剂。酯交换的 Olax 油混合物展示了更好的发动机性能研究，显示了更好的负载运行时间（超过 120% 的相对性能）、润滑和排放效率与完整的石油柴油相比降低了 CO、CO2 和 NOx。
