Comparative Performance Study of Jatropha Methyl Ester as Diesel Oil Substitute on DI Diesel Engine With Emphasis on Vibration and Noise as Potential Engine Parameters
Abstract:Among the biomass resources, vegetable oils are observed to be good alternative fuels for use in diesel engines and are also attractive because of renewability. However, there are fundamental problems of engine performance and exhaust emissions due to high viscosity and low volatility of the pure vegetable oil. The present work aims at evaluating the performance of Jatropha methyl ester (JME) by evaluating the combustion properties and engine vibration & noise. This generates a corroborative method to asce… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
