Abstract (EN)

Biodiesel is an alternative fuel for diesel engines that is receiving great attention world wide. It is renewable, it can be used either pure or in blends with diesel fuel in unmodified diesel engines and it reduces some exhaust pollutants. It can be produced easily from common feedstocks. Nowadays, production of biodiesel from different non-edible feedstocks and effects on performance and emissions in compression ignition engines are great interests.In this work, Ricinus Communis oil, Pistacia Terebinthus oil and waste chicken oil were used as feedstock for the biodiesel production. In addition to biodiesel production, engine performance and exhaust emission experimental studies were performed. As a result, the objective of this study was to explore the utility of Ricinus Communis oil, Pistacia Terebinthus oil and waste chicken oil as a potential source of biodiesel fuel.
