Biodiesel derived from vegetable oil are quite promising alternative fuels for diesel engines, because of their low environmental impact and has potential as an alternative fuel for diesel engine without any modification on the engine Use of vegetable oils in diesel engines leads to slightly inferior performance and higher smoke emissions due to their high viscosity. The performance of vegetable oils can be improved by modifying them through the transesterification process. In this study, an attempt is made to investigate the influence of turbulence inducement using internal jets in a Direct Injection (DI) diesel engine combustion chamber with diesel and palm oil methyl ester (POME). The turbulence in engine cylinder is induced by providing internal jets on the piston crown, located diametrically opposite on the piston crown. The working fluid has a tangential entry into the bowl through these holes.
