Biodiesel production and performance evaluation of coconut, palm and their combined blend with diesel in a single-cylinder diesel engine

Implementation of palm biodiesel based on economic aspects, performance, emission, and wear characteristics

“…The maximum power for all fuels was observed at 1250 rpm, with conventional diesel fuel producing 9.2 kW, followed by fuel blends of 25%, 50%, and 75% for palm oil, and 8.79%, 7.75%, and 7.25% for pure palm oil fuel. The brake power of palm oil blends was 0.83% higher than that of canola blends [113]. The lower viscosity of preheating CPO did not affect the injection system and also provided smooth fuel even at 100°C heating.…”

Influences of ignition improver additive on ternary (diesel-biodiesel-higher alcohol) blends thermal stability and diesel engine performance

“…For biodiesel production, transesterification process was applied in the similar way as done by Habibullah et al [33]. Two fuel samples, called, (a) 80% of diesel + 10% of biodiesel + 10% of pentanol (PB10P10), (b) 75% of diesel + 20% of biodiesel + 5% of pentanol (PB20P5) were prepared first.…”

Friction and wear characteristics of Calophyllum inophyllum biodiesel

“…As of late, it has also become popular in the USA, Canada, Malaysia, Indonesia, and India (Kaul et al, 2007;Mofijur et al, 2015). The advantageous characteristics of biodiesel over diesel fuel include reduced exhaust gas emissions and toxicity, high flash point, sustainability, non-flammability, and a domestic origin (Habibulla et al, 2014;Mofijur et al, 2014a). With rapid modernization and technological development, fuel is not only required to provide energy but also lubricity.…”
