Due to rising petroleum costs, fossil fuel depletion, environmental concerns, and emission norms, alternative fuels for diesel engines are essential. Vegetable oils can be converted into biodiesel via transesterification. This study investigated Pongamia oil methyl ester (PME) and diesel blends (B20 & B100) in a four-stroke direct injection diesel engine, with and without ceramic-coated piston crown (TiO2, 0.5 mm). Results: 100% biodiesel improved brake thermal efficiency and reduced brake specific fuel consumption by 10% at full load. CO and HC emissions decreased, NO emission increased by 15% with coated piston. Peak pressure and heat release rate increased in coated engine. © 2013 The Korean Society of Mechanical Engineers and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. © 2013 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
