The present work illuminates numerical evaluation of neem biodiesel’s (NBD) potentiality for energizing the modern diesel engines. The blends were prepared of NBD and diesel and were mixed in various volumetric percentages (20%, 50%, and 100%). The paper explains the effect of injection timing and blends ratios on the performance and emission of a compression ignition engine. The results were obtained from Diesel-RK software were validated experimentally. The simulation study performed on the software comprehends the fuel spray characteristics at varying fuel injection timings. The simulation study flag-posts that fuel injection at 19 deg. bTDC provided a considerable reduction in Nitrogen emissions and NBD20 blend as the best choice when performance and emission parameters were considered.
