• Mankind is continuously striving for generation of power using renewable energy sources due to depletion of oil & gas reserves and the rise of pollution. The different types of inexhaustible energy sources available are solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, hydro energy and biomass energy. In biomass energy sector, biodiesel is having tremendous potential. For analysing the performance and emission characteristics of rubber seed biodiesel in a conventional diesel engine at different compression ratio (CR), a study has been undertaken. The experimental setup comprises of a 3.5 kW, single cylinder, four stroke, water cooled, direct injection VCR diesel engine. An eddy current and water-cooled dynamometer is coupled with this engine for loading on crankshaft with the support of electromagnetic force. The experimental set-up was examined for three different CRs of 18, 17.5 and 17 under predetermined loading conditions [20% (0.7 kW), 40% (1.4kW), 60% (2.1 kW), 80% (2.8 kW) and 100% (3.5kW)] at conventional injection timing of 23˚ before top dead centre. The maximal brake thermal efficiencies are found to be 26.71%, 25.97% and 21.93% for CRs of 18, 17.5 and 17 for rubber seed biodiesel mode at100% load.
