Abstract :In the study, engine performance and exhaust emissions of diesel fuel and cotton oil methyl ester insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(COME); blends at proportions of 2%, %5 and 10% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(v/v); have been investigated. The engine was fuelled with COME–diesel blends and pure diesel when running the engine at six different engine speed insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1000,1200, 1400, 1600, 1800, 2000 rpm); and at full load. Test results are presented engine torque and specific fuel consumption insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SCF); as engine performance, and Carbon monoxide insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CO);, Hydrocarbon insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(HC);, smoke and nitrogen oxides insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NOx); as exhaust emissions. As result, this study is show that although engine performance decreased with COME adding to diesel fuel, exhaust emissions was generally improved.
