Cotton seed oil (CSO) is chosen as a potential non-edible vegetable oil for the production of biodiesel. Here the biodiesel was prepared from cotton seed oil by transesterification process. The biodiesel prepared from cottonseed has low emission rate which will help in environmental protection. In ISRO a bank of cylinders is being used to store air which is used as an ejector fluid. As the mass stored is having a limitation the test duration also being limited based on the combustor by different engines testing. Kerosene combustors are procured for preheating the ejector fluid by increasing the energy of the ejector medium. Here the kerosene combustor is modified to biodiesel for heating the stored air. This paper focuses on how the injector and combustion liner is designed for biodiesel combustor.Keywords

Energy is one of the basic requirements for the existence and development of human life. The focus is now shifting to energy conservation due to the problems associated with conventional energy sources. This project introduces a novel water heater product that can achieve the multi-functions with improved energy performance. This paper deals with experimental investigations on the performance of a water heater, which uses waste heat from a 1.5 tonne air conditioner. Thus incorporation of a water heater in the outdoor unit of a split-type air-conditioner would result in simultaneous room space cooling and water heating. The experimental results showed that the water heater is capable of producing 88 litres of hot water in one hour of time with a temperature of 52°C. It is seen that up to 37°C of hot water temperature, COP of the waste heat recovery system is more than the COP of conventional air conditioner. But after 37°C, with the increase in hot water temperature, the COP of the waste heat recovery system decreases and becomes less than the COP of conventional air conditioner.Keywords
