Due to depletion of fossil fuels, concerns about energy security and global warming make renewable energy resources more attractive. In this regard, using biodiesel seems to be a possible and feasible source of energy for transportation. This paper presents an investigation of the performance and emission characteristics of CI engine using 10% blend of rice bran oil as fuel and ceramic oxide coated piston.
