The fast depletion of fossil fuel resources and increase in fuel prices in recent years has led to focus towards alternate fuels used in diesel engines. The vegetable oil has become in favour and cost effective and used under a wider range of conditions among various fuel alternatives. The random extraction and consumption of fossil fuels have lead to reduction in petroleum reserves. A single cylinder computerized variable compression ratio engine was operated successfully using Corn Bio-diesel and its blends of Corn oil methyl ester with cerium oxide as nano additive. Pure diesel with different esterified Corn seed oil and its blends are tested for combustion, performance and emission characteristics and curves are drawn and compared with that of diesel. Exhaust emissions such as CO, CO2 and HC were determined and compared with that of diesel. Burning of fossil fuels has caused serious detrimental environment consequences. The application of biodiesel has shown a positive impact in partitioning these problems. It is concluded that the VCR Diesel engine works efficiently by giving lowest emission values of CO, CO2 and HC for Corn biodiesel blend B10 with cerium oxide as nano- additive at both the compression ratios 17.5:1 and 19:1.
