The engine performance and emission characteristics of mahua (madhuca indica) biodiesel and its blends with diesel is presented. The thermo-physical properties of all the fuel blends have been measured and presented. The engine tests are conducted on a 4 Stroke Tangentially Vertical (TV) single cylinder kirloskar 1500 rpm water cooled direct injection diesel engine with eddy current dynamometer at different injection timings of 20°, 21°, 22° and 23° bTDC with standard nozzle opening pressure of 220 bar maintained as constant throughout the experiment. From the test results, it is observed that the lower injection timing of 20° bTDC and modified nozzle opening pressure of 220 bars gives better performance and significant reduction in emissions.
