| Abstract | Refined Pongamia pinnata L. (pongame) oil obtained from indigenous sources in Pakistan was converted successfully to biodiesel using alkaline transesterification in a batch reactor. The optimum reaction conditions (temperature 60 °C, methanol-to-oil ratio 48 % by volume, H$_{2}$SO$_{4}$-to-oil ratio 0.2 % by volume, KOH-to-oil ratio ≈ 1 % by volume, stirring speed 600 rpm and reaction time 180 min) were determined from several experiments. The pongame oil biodiesel was analysed according to the American (ASTM D 6751) and European (EN 14214) international standards, showing that its properties were better than that of canola oil and jatropha oil biodiesel fuels. Environmental emissions profile of pongame B20 (20 % biodiesel blended with 80 % mineral diesel) from a compression ignition engine was better than those obtained with canola B20 and jatropha B20. Engine performance of pongame B20 was found to be comparable to jatropha B20. From results obtained in this research it appears technically feasible to harness biodiesel from native pongamia pinnata instead of imported jatropha curcas to meet the ever increasing energy demands of Pakistan. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
