“…This trend is expected. as biodiesel has a lower energy content (Table 1) than fossil diesel [49,50]. Figure 2 shows a clear comparison between the two biodiesels, where soybean-based biodiesel has a better power output than waste oil biodiesel.…”

The study investigated the engine performance and emission using biodiesel from soybean oil and waste cooking oil. The fuel properties of these biodiesels were determined using ASTM D6751and EN 14214 standards. The fuels were tested in a multi-cylinder diesel engine with an electromagnetic dynamometer and a 5-gas analyser was used for emission analysis. The result shows that the thermal performance of the engine slightly decreases with increase of the biodiesel blends ratio (i.e. B5, B10, B15, B20 and B50). On the other hand, emission decreases with the increase of biodiesel blends. The reduction in emissions was different for both biodiesels. Waste oil biodiesel showed better trends of emissions reduction with increase of the biodiesel percentage compared with soybean biodiesel. The brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) of both biodiesels is (6.05%, 9.13%, 12.36% and 18.57% for soybean) and (8.17%, 11.40%, 17.71% and 14.96% for waste cooking oil) higher than diesel, respectively. However, soybean biodiesel consumed less fuel and produced more power and torque compared to waste oil biodiesel. The study concluded that B10 soybean biodiesel blend produced more consistent and expected results than waste oil biodiesel from the performance and emission point of view.

“…Biodiesel has low sulphur content, low aromatic content and oxygen containing compounds due to which the emissions of SO2, CO2, HC and PM are reduced. Besides, it has good ignition ability in engine owing to its high cetane number compared to that of conventional diesel fuel [10,[18][19][20][21][22][23].…”

In this work, biodiesel obtained from the transesterfication of Jatropha seeds and Fish wastes is used as an alternative fuel to diesel in stationary single cylinder diesel engines. The biodiesel obtained has good ignition ability due to its relatively high cetane number compared to that of conventional diesel fuel. The performance, combustion and emission tests using Jatropha Oil Methyl Ester (JOME), Fish Oil Methyl Ester (FOME) and their blends (20% JOME and 20% FOME) with diesel were carried out at constant speed and variable loads condition. The results showed that both blends could be used as fuels for diesel engine without any major modification on the engine. Carbon monoxide (CO), UBHC and smoke emissions were observed to be lesser at all loads for both the blends compared to diesel fuel, while NOx emission was slightly higher. JOME blend was found to be better than FOME blend.

“…Biodiesel can be produced from a variety of SVO feedstocks such as jatropha, karanja, rapeseed, soybean, palm, etc. [2][3][4][5][6][7]. Proper utilization of renewable SVOs as fuel, replacing fossil fuel, contributes to climate, water, and soil protection, helps in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and provide sustainability, regional development, and improvement in agriculture [2,8].…”

“…Besides that, biodiesel has a lower aromatic compound content, contains 10%-12% oxygen by weight, and is free of sulphur content. Due to the presence of oxygen, a higher degree of oxidation of incompletely burned hydrocarbons, which are generated during combustion, is achieved [16,17]. This leads to lower carbon monoxide (CO), unburned hydrocarbons (HC), and particulate matter (PM) emissions with biodiesel fuel.…”

In this study, 18 soapnut biodiesel-diesel blends along with soapnut oil as an additive in some blends were prepared and used in a diesel engine to investigate the effect of oxygen content in the fuel blends on engine performance and emission characteristics. Considering the large variations in the oxygen content of these fuel blends, the obtained results were demonstrated based on varying fuel oxygen content. Findings showed that the best engine performance was achieved with a fuel oxygen content in the range of 1.8%-3.0%, whereas the best engine emissions were obtained with a fuel oxygen content in the range of 0.71%-2.37%. Hence, considering both engine performance and emissions, the optimal zone of fuel oxygen content was found to be in the range of 1.80%-2.37%. Thus, it can be concluded that biodiesel blended fuels having an oxygen content in the aforesaid range can be successfully used in diesel engines with comparable engine performance and emissions to those using diesel fuel. Nevertheless, further research is required to reduce the fuel oxygen content to this optimal range if the blends consist of higher biofuel components. Besides that, the use of suitable additives in the biodiesel blended fuels may be a viable option to achieve the said purpose, which needs further research.
