Performance and emission evaluation of a CI engine fueled with preheated raw rapeseed oil (RRO)–diesel blends

Characteristics of vegetable oils for use as fuel in stationary diesel engines—Towards specifications for a standard in West Africa

“…SVO viscosity is much higher than that of diesel fuel: it increases with the carbon chain lengths [28,52], triglyceride unsaturation which induces polymerization, and when the temperature decreases [51]. Common SVOs have a kinematic viscosity of 30-40 cSt at 40°C, (see Table 1) i.e.…”

Performance And Emission Characteristics Of C.I. Engine Fuelled With Diesel-Biodiesel Blends

“…Again, the greater the viscosity of the blend, the less the leakage in the fuel pump [13,14]. A higher mass flow compensates for the lower heat energy content of blends [15]. Koçar [16] Performance And Emission Characteristics Of C.I.…”

Comparative Analysis on Performance and Emission Characteristic of Diesel Engine Fueled with Heated Coconut Oil and Diesel Fuel

“…Heated neat jatropha and kharanja oils were used for a test diesel engine, Astrup et al [23] denoted that a viscosity reduction was about 80-90 % while preheated up to 90 °C, and at this temperature, their properties were equal to diesel fuel. Preheated raw rapeseed oil (RRO) to 100 o C was considered as fuel [24], and was shown that the preheating method of vegetable oils affected positively the engine power and emissions. The filter-clogging problem was settled by preheating vegetable oils before injection [25].…”
