Abstract:The fuel qualities of several biodiesels containing highly saturated, mono, and poly unsaturated fatty acids, as well as their combustion and exhaust emission characteristics, were studied. Six biodiesel samples were divided into two groups based on their fatty acid composition, including group 1 (coconut, castor, and jatropha) and group II (palm, karanja, and waste cooking oil biodiesel). All fuels (in both groups) were tested in a single-cylinder off-road diesel engine. Castor and karanja biodiesel, both ric… Show more
“…7b & 7c). While increasing the engine torque increases the fuel injection quantity/ strokes, hence increasing the in-cylinder temperature [37]. This phenomenon also increases the fuel injection pressure, as shown in Figs.…”

“…Furthermore, at low loads, the in-cylinder temperature is relatively low. Combined effects of low in-cylinder temperature and higher ignition delay (due to low cetane number) caused more fuel to burn in the premixed combustion phase, which gave higher in-cylinder pressure [37]. Whereas in-cylinder pressure for NP blends increased with increased engine load at medium and full load conditions (Fig.…”

“…It is observed that the SoC was retarded for all the blends compared to W100 even though W100 has a higher viscosity. Neat biodiesel (W100) has a higher cetane number than diesel [37]. The higher the cetane number lower the delay [34].…”

“…The burn duration (BD) is defined as the interval between the SoC and EoC. The BD increases with increasing the engine load due to high fuel injection quantity per stroke [37]. Overall, blends with NcP and C additives showed shorter BD at almost all loads.…”

“…The fuel quantity/stroke is less at lower engine load, the pumping force used by the fuel pump is lower, but fuel quantity increases with engine load. Therefore, the fuel pump has to apply more force to inject the required quantity of fuel/stroke [37]. Hence, fuel injection pressure also increased with engine load (Fig.…”
