“…Hansdah et al [69] have discussed the opportunities for obtaining bioethanol from the Madhuca indica flower, which is a forest tree growing abundantly in the tropical regions of Asia and Australia. On the other hand, Madhuca indica seeds are also a potential feedstock for biodiesel production in India.…”

The use of alternative fuels contributes to the lowering of the carbon footprint of the internal combustion engine. Biofuels are the most important kinds of alternative fuels. Currently, thanks to the new manufacturing processes of biofuels, there is potential to decrease greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, compared to fossil fuels, on a well-to-wheel basis. Amongst the most prominent alternative fuels to be used in mixtures/blends with fossil fuels in internal combustion (IC) engines are biodiesel, bioethanol, and biomethanol. With this perspective, considerable attention has been given to biodiesel and petroleum diesel fuel blends in compression ignition (CI) engines. Many studies have been conducted to assess the impacts of biodiesel use on engine operation. The addition of alcohols such as methanol and ethanol is also practised in biodiesel–diesel blends, due to their miscibility with the pure biodiesel. Alcohols improve the physico-chemical properties of biodiesel–diesel blends, which lead to improved CI engine operation. This review paper discusses some results of recent studies on biodiesel, bioethanol, and biomethanol production, their physicochemical properties, and also, on the influence of the use of diesel–biodiesel–alcohols blends in CI engines: combustion characteristics, performance, and emissions.

“…Research reports indicate that use of fuels with high cetane number or ignition improver with low cetane number fuel in the form of blends in CI engines improve the engine behavior in terms of combustion and performance, while reduces emissions in CI engines (Cai et al 2004, Eklund et al 1984, Ren et al 2008, Hansdah et al 2013and Munsin et al 2012. Running a CI engine fueled with low cetane fuel on a dual fuel mode can also improve the combustion behavior of the engine (Chauhan et al 2011, Hansdah and Murugan 2014and Eklund et al1984.…”

Recent investigations was utilization of light fraction pyrolysis oil (LFPO) in diesel engine, which is obtained from a tire recycling plant. The 40LFPO blend, which comprising 40% LFPO and 60% diesel composition gave better performance and lower emissions than the blends containing 20LFPO,60LFPO and 80LFPO. The ignition delays of the blends were longer than that of diesel fuel, because of their lower cetane numbers. The aim of the study is to effect the adding small quantities of Diethyl ether (DEE) whose cetane number is 125, to 40LFPO on the engine behavior in terms of performance parameters and exhaust emissions. The percentage of DEE was varied from 1% to 4% in steps of 1% on a volume basis. The results of the performance and emission parameters of the engine run on the 40LFPO-DEE blends were evaluated, compared with the diesel operation of the same engine and presented in this paper.

“…Limited reserves and the increasing environmental impact of the conventional fossil fuels have recently been two majors concerns of the researchers [1,2]. Two strategies have been evolved to meet these challenges: the use of alternate fuels to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels [3,4] and the development of clean burning fuels to meet the strict emissions targets [5].…”

This paper presents the performance and emissions contours of a hydrogen dual fueled compression ignition (CI) engine with two pilot fuels (diesel and rapeseed methyl ester), and compares the performance and emissions iso-contours of diesel and rapeseed methyl ester (RME) single fueling with diesel and RME piloted hydrogen dual fueling throughout the engines operating speed and power range. The collected data have been used to produce iso-contours of thermal efficiency, volumetric efficiency, specific oxides of nitrogen (NO X ), specific hydrocarbons (HC) and specific carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) on a power-speed plane. The performance and emission maps are experimentally investigated, compared, and critically discussed. Apart from medium loads at lower and medium speeds with diesel piloted hydrogen combustion, dual fueling produced lower thermal efficiency everywhere across the map. For diesel and RME single fueling the maximum specific NO X emissions are centered at the mid speed, mid power region. Hydrogen dual fueling produced higher specific NO X with both pilot fuels as compared to their respective single fueling operations. The range, location and trends of specific NO X varied significantly when compared to single fueling . Production and hosting by Elsevier B.V.
