A comparative study on performance characteristics of diesel engine fuelled by biodiesel blends with and without Ge-132 additive.

The demand for growing fuel in everyday life and its risk requires a serious problem for this world. Great attention is needed to solve this problem. Biodiesel considered as alternatives to minimize the usage of conventional fuels. However, by using biodiesel, the main drawbacks are like higher dens...
