This work briefs the ability of Sterculia foetida methyl ester (SFME) as an alternate fuel in determining the engine characteristics. Non-edible nature of the Sterculia foetida kernel oil favored choosing as a feedstock. The Acid-catalyzed transesterification process is conducted for converting Ster...
