CO emission level decreases as amount of oxygen

content in biodiesel helps in complete combustion and
proper oxidation. The higher cetane number of blend as
compared to that of mineral diesel is also one of the
reasons of better combustion. The increase in load
causes increase in CO emissions due to decrease in
the air–fuel ratio with increase in load such as all typical
internal combustion engines. Results are in agreement
with results obtained by Kumar MS et. al.[45].

Emission of Carbon Mono oxide(CO)

Emissions of CO are explained in figures (14-16).

DLD25 has highest CO emission because viscosity of
25 % blend is higher then other test fuels and this affect
the combustion process for CR 16 and CR 17.DLD15
and DLD20 have shown significant reduction of CO
emissions at CR 16 and CR17 respectively whereas at
CR18, DLD 25 exhibited CO emission very close to
