“…Biodiesels have lower BTE, much higher BSFC and higher heat losses except the exhaust heat loss than mineral diesel fuel (Abedin et al, 2013). Engine consumes more BDF in comparison to the diesel fuel because of its lower energy content and cost has raised by using BDF as an alternative for diesel (Sadeghinezhad et al, 2013;Park et al, 2012). The CI engine running at lower load and speed (high idling condition) showed the increased SFC and NOx emission with JOME compared to diesel but lower amount of CO and HC emissions in the engine out gas (Rahman et al, 2014).…”

The compression ignition (CI) engines are most efficient and robust but they rely on depleting fossil fuel. Hence there is a speedy need to use alternative fuels that replaces diesel and at the same time engine should yield better performance. Accordingly, honge oil methyl ester (BHO) and cotton seed oil methyl ester (BCO) were selected as an alternative fuel to power CI engine in the study. In the first part, this paper aims to evaluate best fuel injection timing (IT) and injector opening pressure (IOP) for the biodiesel fuels (BDF). The combustion chamber (CC) used for the study is toriodal re-entrant (TRCC). The experimental tests showed that BHO and BCO yielded overall better performance at IT of 19° before top dead centre (bTDC) and IOP of 240 bar. In the second part, the effect of number of holes on the performance of BDF powered CI engine was studied keeping optimized IT and IOP. The six-hole injector with 0.2 mm injector orifice diameter yielded better performance compared to other injectors of different holes and size tested.

“…The resolution error of the amount of the liquid transferred in the tanks is calculated using Equation 3. 4 =PT/(2 n -1) (3.4) where  is the resolution error of the pressure sensor read by the PLC and n is the analog input bit number of the PLC. The ladder diagram of the program code which the pressure at the bottom of the tank using the data from the pressure sensor can be written as below ( Figure 5).…”

The control of the biodiesel production plays an important role on achieving the production standard of the biodiesel. The quality of the produced biodiesel depends on the raw materials, alcohol and catalyst selections and process and storage conditions. The control of the biodiesel production not only enables to achieve high quality biodiesel but also maintains the continuity of the product quality. In this work, an automation system for a two stage biodiesel production is designed and realized. A PLC (Programming Logic Control) based system is used for this purpose. The designed and realized biodiesel production facility enables to produce biodiesel using either a single stage or a two stage process. The quality of the biodiesels separately produced using a single stage and a two stage process are analyzed and compared. The analysis results show that a two stage biodiesel production process gives better results compared to the single stage in fuel density, viscosity and flash point.

“…Moreover, due to low sulphur content (1.112 wt %) of the POME, clean emission was produced. Performance studies on the engine using biodiesel and POME were reported by various researchers [1][2][3][4][5] . However, the fire safety precautions also must be taken into consideration to ensure safe storage and fueling.…”

Abstract. The characteristics of biodiesel pool fires with palm oil methyl ester concentrations of 7% by volume in various pan diameter sizes (0.05 m, 0.10 m and 0.15 m) were studied. Initially, biodiesel was heated on a hot plate to increase the temperature close to the flash point temperature. Later fuel was ignited and stable pool fire formed. Flame temperature along the centerline pool fire from flame base to flame tip were measured. Flame temperature shows that the temperature at flame base is higher than that the flames tip. This is due to the complete burning occurs near flame base and at flame tip incomplete burning exists. Incomplete burning produces yellow flame appearance. Moreover, the mass burn rate varies linearly with pan size. Small diameter pan produces low mass burn rate compared to the large diameter pan. Low and high mass burn rate contributes to the flame height. Flame with higher mass burn rate is longer than that the low mass burn rate. Thus, the characteristic of the biodiesel palm oil methyl ester is successfully studied in the present study.
