6BTA 5.9 G2-1 Cummins engine performance and emission tests using methyl ester mahua (Madhuca indica) oil/diesel blends

Influence of gas-to-liquid (GTL) fuel in the blends of Calophyllum inophyllum biodiesel and diesel: An analysis of combustion–performance–emission characteristics

“…With regard to the blend ratios of biodiesel with diesel, the previous studies [16][17][18][27][28][29][30] reported that 15-25% blend of biodiesel with petroleum diesel demonstrates comparatively better engine performance than any other blend ratio. The EU also aims to use 20% biodiesel in blends with diesel by 2020 [31].…”

Prospects of 2nd generation biodiesel as a sustainable fuel – Part 2: Properties, performance and emission characteristics

“…Numerous methods have been assessed for improving the CFP of biodiesel [127] such as, addition of cold flow improvers [128], winterizing [129] and modification of the fatty ester composition [130]. Among these, the use of cold flow improvers provides an effective and feasible approach that has been investigated in many studies.…”

Effects of Biodiesel Usage on Engine Performance, Economy, Tribology, and Ecology

“…It may be worth noting that the explanations for the increased fuel consumption of biodiesel are not very uniform among the authors. In some investigations, the most exposed reason is the higher density of biodiesel, which causes the higher mass injection for the same volume at the same injection pressure (Buyukkaya 2010;Qi et al 2009; Godiganur et al 2009Godiganur et al , 2010Puhan et al 2005a). Some other authors interpret the increase in fuel consumption to be a consequence of combination of biodiesel properties.…”
