Performance characteristics of a diesel engine with deccan hemp oil

Performance and emissions characteristics of Jatropha oil (preheated and blends) in a direct injection compression ignition engine

“…The use of vegetable oil results in increased volumetric fuel consumption and BSFC [15]. Emissions of CO, HC and SO x were found to be higher, whereas NO x and particulate emission were lower compared to diesel [16][17][18][19][20]. Some studies reported lower exhaust emissions including PAHs and PM [14,21].…”

Bio Diesel as an Alternative Green Fuel to Internal Combustion Diesel Engine

“…It also reduces the filter clogging and ensures smooth flow of oil. Some of the researchers [22,25] conducted the experiments on diesel engine using non-edible vegetable oils used as alternate fuels and found maximum Brake thermal efficiency, BSFC and emissions like CO, HC also increased without any engine modification. The 8 uses of biodiesel [31] in conventional diesel engines result in substantial reduction in the emission of unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and particulate.…”

Biofuels: Production Technologies, Global Profile, and Market Potentials

“…A couple of researches have reported the good performances of modified (for long-term use) and unmodified (for short-term use) diesel engines that have been ran on pure SVO such as sunflower oil (Rosca and Zugravel 1997;Cigizoglu and Ozaklam 1997;Schlick et al 1988), rapeseed oil (Bialkowski et al 2005), palm oil (Sapvan et al 1996;Prasad 2010), cotton seed oil (Martin and Prithviraj 2011), coconut oil (Machacon et al 2001), deccan hemp oil (Hebbal et al 2006), soya bean oil (Schlick et al 1988;Niehaus et al 1985), linseed oil, castor oil, mahua oil, and neem oil (Prasad 2010), etc. Also, the use of blended SVO/PD in diesel engines have been demonstrated by several other researches Tadashi 1984;Vellguth 1983;Barsic and Humke 1981).…”
