Influence of Palm Methyl Ester (PME) as an Alternative Fuel In Multicylinder Diesel Engine

Influence of Palm Methyl Ester (PME) as an Alternative Fuel In Multicylinder Diesel Engine

Palm oil is one of the vegetable oil, which is converted to biodiesel through a transesterification process using methanol as the catalyst. Palm oil biodiesel or palm methyl ester (PME) can be used in diesel engines without any modification, and can be blended with conventional diesel to produce di...
