“…Combustion of the charge is followed by the spark initiated by spark plug. If this gasoline is fumigated in diesel engines, then it has been reported in the literature that the engine performance and emissions would be improved [22,57,58]. This concept of gasoline fumigation has been tested in diesel engine run on B20 biodiesel two different ratios.…”

The ever-increasing demand for transport is sustained by internal combustion (IC) engines. The demand for transport energy is large and continuously increasing across the globe. Though there are few alternative options emerging that may eliminate the IC engine, they are in a developing stage, meaning the burden of transportation has to be borne by IC engines until at least the near future. Hence, IC engines continue to be the prime mechanism to sustain transportation in general. However, the scarcity of fossil fuels and its rising prices have forced nations to look for alternate fuels. Biodiesel has been emerged as the replacement of diesel as fuel for diesel engines. The use of biodiesel in the existing diesel engine is not that efficient when it is compared with diesel run engine. Therefore, the biodiesel engine must be suitably improved in its design and developments pertaining to the intake manifold, fuel injection system, combustion chamber and exhaust manifold to get the maximum power output, improved brake thermal efficiency with reduced fuel consumption and exhaust emissions that are compatible with international standards. This paper reviews the efforts put by different researchers in modifying the engine components and systems to develop a diesel engine run on biodiesel for better performance, progressive combustion and improved emissions.

Vegetable oils can be considered as an alternative or emergency fuel for diesel engine. However, vegetable oils result in operational and durability problems for the long-term operation because of being much more viscous than diesel fuel. To eliminate this drawback, blending of vegetable oils with diesel fuel or alcohol is one of the most widely used techniques. In the existing literature, many studies are available on the measurement and prediction of density and viscosity of binary blends (especially biodiesel (BD)-diesel fuel (DF) blends), although, there is still the lack of comprehensive studies in which reliable density and viscosity data are presented, new regression models are proposed and compared with other regression models for waste cooking oil (WCO)-DF binary blends. Therefore, in the present study, (1) WCO was blended with DF on the volume basis of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 15 and 20 %, (2) the measurements of viscosities and densities of the binary blends were performed at various temperatures (278.15-343.15 K) in accordance with DIN 53015 and ISO 4787 standards, respectively, (3) the variations of viscosity and density values of binary blends vs. temperature were evaluated, (4) the new rational and exponential models as a function of temperature were fitted to the experimental data measured by the authors and Baroutian et al. (regarded as typically different data), and finally (5) the models were also compared to Yoon et al. and linear models, previously proposed by other authors, in order to investigate their reliability. According to results, (i) the best correlation was obtained by the rational model with the lowest maximum relative errors of 2.9679 % and 3.2725 % for the viscosity data measured by the authors (WCO-DF blends) and Baroutian et al. (palm oil (PO)-DF blends), and (ii) for the density data of WCO-DF and PO-DF binary blends, the best correlation was obtained using the exponential model giving the lowest maximum relative errors of 0.0470 % and 0.0581 %, respectively.
