An experimental set up was assembled to carry out test for Diesel and BioDieselas well as for blends. Ignition delay and temperature histories were recorded.Thermocouple arrangement was made to record the temperature history and digital videocamera was used to capturing the entire combustionanalysis.Ignition delay of Bio-Diesel and its blends with Diesel at atmospheric pressure and in thetemperature range of 600 °C to 750 °C was studied. The result of same was compared withBio-Diesel and its blends. The fuel droplet was introduced into the furnace chamber.Combustion characteristics were measured for the Diesel and Bio-Diesel as well as forblends.It has been shown from reviewed literature that delay period was measured andcorrelated for different blends. The effect of delay period with temperature is found out.The apparentactivation energy was obtained.
