“…The preheated biodiesel did not affect the performances of torque, brake power, brake mean effective pressure, and fuel consumption. It seems that the small additional oxygen content due to low blending ratio did not have much influence on combustion [7,13]. Figure 5 shows the performance of preheated WCO5 at 0% and 50% load conditions.…”

“…From the fuel properties, viscosity can affect fuel flow rate and cause poor fuel atomisation during the combustion process [9][10][11][12]. The use of biodiesel or its blend has effects on fuel droplet formation, vaporisation, and airfuel mixing process due to its higher viscosity [13][14][15][16][17]. These effects cause important engine failures such as fuel filter clogging, stuck piston ringg, injector choking, and carbon formation deposits [18][19][20][21].…”

Biodiesel is typically made by chemically reacting lipids of palm, vegetable, and waste cooking oils and animal fat with an alcohol producing fatty acid esters. Biodiesel is not efficient in cold weather and this is biodiesel's major problem. Viscosity has influences on the fuel flow rate and leads to poor fuel atomisation during the combustion process. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of biodiesel temperature in the range fom 40 °C and 60 °C on engine performance such as torque, brake power, brake mean effective pressure, and fuel consumption. Three types of biodiesel oil were used (crude palm oil (CPO), waste cooking oil (WCO), and jatropha oil) under biodiesel blending ratio of 5vol%. A single cylinder four-stroke engine was used and operated under different load conditions of 0% and 50% and observed emission of CO, CO2, NOx, and HC. The engine operated at 0% and 50% dynamometer load conditions and running speeds of the engine of 800 rpm, 1200 rpm, 1600 rpm, and 2000 rpm. The results of this study showed that the heating temperatures in the range from 40 °C and 60 o C in CPO10 produced the highest brake power as well as torque and BMEP. For the experimental results of exhaust emission, the preheated temperature affected the degradation of the exhaust emission. In addition, preheated biodiesel increased the pressure on the cylinder combustion chamber. It can be concluded that the biodiesel preheated blend influences the performance and emission. For CPO biodiesel, the preheated biodiesel decreased CO and NOx while the standard diesel produced the lower emission of CO2 and HC. WCO biodiesel blend produced a lower emission with increasing fuel temperature.

“…9. Compared with the diesel fuel, the CO emissions of COME blends are lower, because of the higher oxygen content of biodiesel, which enhances the combustion process [8,9]. Some of the CO produced during combustion of chicha oil biodiesel might have converted into CO2 by taking up the oxygen content in the biodiesel and thus reduced CO formation [10].…”

“…Various researchers have shown that the use of vegetable oils and their derivatives is economical and competitive compared to mineral diesel [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Devan and Mahalakshmi [14] conducted experimental tests to evaluate the performance, emission and combustion characteristics of a diesel engine using standard diesel, neat Poon oil (Chicha oil) and its blends of 20%, 40%, and 60%.…”

As the decreasing availability of the fossil fuel is rising day by day, the search of alternate fuel that can be used as a substitute to the conventional fuels is rising rapidly. A new type of biofuel, chicha oil biodiesel, is introduced in this work for the purpose of fueling diesel engine. Chicha oil was transesterified with methanol using potassium hydroxide as catalyst to obtain chicha oil methyl ester (COME). The calorific value of this biodiesel is lower, when compared to that of diesel. The COME and their blends of 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% with diesel were tested in a single cylinder, four stroke, direct injection diesel engine and the performance, combustion and emission results were compared with diesel. The test result indicates that there is slight increase in brake thermal efficiency and decrease in brake specific fuel consumption for all blended fuels when compared to that of diesel fuel. The use of biodiesel resulted in lower emissions of CO and HC and increased emissions of CO 2 and NOx. The experimental results proved that the use of biodiesel (produced from chicha oil) in compression ignition engine is a viable alternative to diesel.

“…However, NO, emission was higher for both fuels while 0 2 produced was lower than that of diesel fuel. Emissions of two different engines were studied by Yilrnaz and Morton [23]. The authors found that the CO and NO emissions were higher for both engines compared to the diesel fuel.…”

This present study discusses the effects of preheated biodiesel and its blends on the performance and emissions of diesel engines. Limited supply of fossil fuel makes biodiesel as one of the major solution for this current situation. However, in using biodiesel and its blends as fuel had created few problems such as poor fuel droplet formation and atomization that consequently result on lots of carbon formation deposit on the valves and injector choking. These problems occur due to the effect of higher viscosity of the biodiesel and its blends itself. This paper reviews the recent research on the effects of preheated biodiesel on viscosity and thus influences to the performance and emissions. Generally there are four methods to lower the viscosity that are heating, blending, micro-emulsification and transesterification. Heating is the easiest solution to bring lower the viscosity. Biodiesel and its blends were heated up before combustion process and most of the researcher reported that the brake power was lower than diesel fuel but higher than unheated biodiesel while the BSFC was found to be higher than diesel fuel and unheated biodiesel. In addition, it observed that the NOxemission was higher than that of diesel fuel and unheated biodiesel.
