“…Researchers have published experiments exploring the optimal blend ratios for diesel/biodiesel mixtures. Vinay and Yadav [18] optimize the parameters of efficiency and pollutants of a CI engine powered by Mahua biodiesel mixed with diesel using RSM. The analysis showed that for Mahua oil methyl esters blended with diesel, BSFC (brake specific fuel consumption) 319.78, smoke (vol.%): 4.50 were observed at optimized input parameters (40% fuel blend and 15 Nm load torque), performance and pollution parameters at optimum solutions.…”

As there is a growth in industrialization globally, the reduction of harmful pollutants is of considerable significance, especially in the transportation sector. In this paper, the impacts of various engine operating parameters are investigated on the performance and emissions of a CRDI (common rail direct injection) diesel engine. The primary aim of this study is to optimize emissions and efficiency parameters to achieve the optimal configuration parameters for the engine by employing the desirability approach of RSM (response surface methodology) techniques which is a suitable optimization approach that can save a lot of repetitive testing.After RSM modelling it was observed that the optimized engine settings of input factors are diesel/linseed blend concentration 8.10%, FIP (fuel injection pressure) 600 bar, EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) level 4.667%, and load on engine 9.33kg. On these constant hold values, the optimized output torque, BTE (brake thermal efficiency), BMEP (brake mean effective pressure), mechanical efficiency, HC (hydrocarbon), and CO2 carbon dioxide have obtained 20.04 Nm, 26.035%, 3.474 bar, 52.503%, 28.14ppmv, and 7.319 %vol. respectively. Aforesaid predicted values were validated experimentally and errors in predicted values are in a limited range.

“…Acid catalyzed processes are used when the oil has a high concentration of free fatty acids (FFA), requiring longer reaction times and higher molar proportions of alcohol [20]. On the other hand, alkaline catalyzed processes are significantly affected by the way in which the reagents are mixed [50]. The amount of catalyst in the transesterification reaction is an essential factor that significantly influences the maximum biodiesel yield [13].…”

“…The most determinant factor in the reaction yield is the reaction time, it has been observed that, at the beginning, the increase in time led to an increase in the yield of biodiesel produced, but with the passage of time, it was reduced. Due to the reversible nature of the reaction and its propensity to generate methanol, a longer reaction time resulted in a decrease in yield [50], This is because, if the reagents are mixed for longer periods than necessary, typical of traditional methods, a catalyst-depleting soap may be generated, particularly if the oil contains a significant amount of free fatty acids, which decreases the efficiency in the production of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) [18]. Therefore, it is important to determine the optimal reaction time.…”

Biodiesel emerges as a viable option to replace fossil fuels, but the traditional process for the production of biodiesel requires a large energy expenditure, since transesterification has a slow conversion due to the immiscibility of alcohol and oil. On the other hand, with the hydrodynamic cavitation method, a shorter conversion time can be achieved with a high yield; however, there are few studies related to this method. Therefore, the objective of this article is to analyze information from different scientific publications to compare and visualize the parameters used to obtain biodiesel by means of a hydrodynamic cavitation reactor. For this reason, a bibliometric analysis and a systematic review based on the PRISMA method were carried out. In this sense, the relevant articles were selected from the Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar databases published between January 2018 and July 2023.Finally, the values of biodiesel yield efficiency were obtained by analyzing the different operating parameters and the different feedstock sources for its elaboration in the hydrodynamic cavitation reactors and comparing their results with international standards. American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D6751 y European Committee for Standardization(EN)14214. It is concluded that hydrodynamic cavitation produces biodiesel that meets international standards and that the highest yields in biodiesel production in most studies have temperature ranges between 50 to 65°C, alcohol: oil molar ratio of 6:1, and methanol is the most used in tranasesterification.

“…It is fatty acid methyl ester derived from vegetable oil, microalgae, animal fats etc. Its burning causes in less emissions of CO, HC and PM compared to diesel [8][9][10][11][12]. Despite of several advantages, the lower calorific value of biodiesel leads to high fuel consumption, less power and torque generation.…”

"Rapid depletion of petroleum reserves and the environmental concern demands the replacement of conventional fuel with renewable and alternate fuel to fulfill the demand of energy requirement. Biodiesel fits to be the good replacement in CI engine and extensive research has been done in the field of Biodiesel. In this work, the effect on performance and emission of using biodiesel in IC engine has been reviewed. The emissions of unburnt hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide and particulate matter can be reduced considerably with the use of biodiesel compared to diesel fuel. There is some shortcoming by using of Biodiesel such as high brake specific fuel consumption, lower brake power and brake thermal efficiency, which can be overcome by using supplement fuel like hydrogen along with biodiesel. Further, the review work has been extended to methods of hydrogen production and its usage as a secondary fuel along with biodiesel in the engine.
