Bio fuels can be an alternative of diesel in compression ignition engine. As they are widely available, cheaper and can be produced easily. But the problems arise while using vegetable oils as fuel directly at room temperature. as vegetable oils are viscus, less volatile, poor in atomization. Heating the vegetable oil can reduce viscosity. Preheating this vegetable oils before injecting into combustion chamber reduces viscosity and also atomises fuel. This paper particularly deals with review of preheating of various types of biodiesel and its effect on performance and emission on CI engine.
