Production and comparison of fuel properties, engine performance, and emission characteristics of biodiesel from various non-edible vegetable oils: A review

Numerical study on dissimilar guide vane design with SCC piston for air and emulsified biofuel mixing improvement

“…Numerous researchers reported that the global energy demand will increase progressively, e.g. in 1980, the fuel demand was 6630 million tons of oil in equivalent (Mt), and by 2030, the fuel consumption demand will expected to increase to 53% [3][4][5]. For this reason, the searching for alternative fuels to offset the global demand of fuel consumption becomes more challenging in order to minimize the fossil fuel dependence and subsequently improve the quality of the ecological system.…”

Comparison of selected vegetable oils rheologic properties

“…They also investigated its ignition and combustion behaviour after injection in a constant volume combustion chamber. Ashraful et al (2014) had compared fuel properties, engine performance, and emission characteristics of biodiesel from various non-edible vegetable oils (karanja, polanga, mahua, rubber seed, cotton seed, jojoba, tobacco neem, linseed and jatropha).Various biodiesel types with different vegetable oils (soybean, rapeseed, mustard, canola, palm, sunflower, rice bran, jatropha, karanja and used cooking oil) were analysed by Issariyakul and Dalai (2014). Biodiesel fuels prepared from different vegetable oil sources (canola, soybean, sunflower, and corn) were studied through electrochemical impedance spectroscopy by M' Peko et al (2013).…”

Combustion and Emission Analysis of Mahua and Jujube Biodiesel Blends as Fuel in a CI Engine

“…Many researches have been conducted experiments using biodiesel in conventional diesel engines with minimum modification. It has been found that efficiency, brake thermal efficiency, emission characteristics and combustion characteristics are almost dependent on the blends of the biodiesel with neat diesel [2][3][4][5]. After so many researches conducted on engine parameters like multiple injection, injection timing, compression ratio and injection pressure, and they concluded that for better performance, lower blending should be used, from B6 to B20, but it has been found that the engine gives the best performance of efficiency and other important properties with B20 mostly, after going through ASTM specifications, higher blending is not used because it requires appreciable engine modification to avoid certain maintenance problem [6].…”
