Looking at the energy situations and global warming concerns, research on non-conventional and alternative fuel resources has ignited targeted to reduce emission and persistent dependence on conventional fuels for sectors like transportation, power generation and agriculture. The primary objective of this research is to design an alternative fuel having additive 2-Ethylhexyl nitrate of high cetane number and additive triacetin of low cetane number blended with palm kernel to analyse exhaust emission characteristics and engine performance. For the purpose, biodiesel made from palm kernel was added to pure diesel along with 20% (by volume) of two different additives (2-Ethylhexyl nitrate, triacetin). As compared with pure diesel, some of our fuel blends show better performance and have low emission which is much needed in the present scenario.
