“…Liang et al 130 utilized micro emulsification technology to stabilize bio-oil-in diesel using Span 80/Tween 80 as surfactants. Sankumgon et al 131 produce microemulsion bio-fuel from Jatropha curcas oil in the presence of the surfactant. The properties analyses of the microemulsion oil showed kinematic viscosity, moisture content, and heating values comply with the biodiesel standards and compatible to use in a diesel engine.…”

“…García-Martínez et al 135 optimized the experimental conditions of the scMeOH transesterification process for biodiesel production from tobacco seed oil and obtained about 93 wt% biodiesel conversion at 303.4 C for 90 min with a fixed methanol and oil molar ratio of 43.1. 131 Although the utilization of catalyst in scMeOH transesterification is not essential, a few studies have utilized catalyst to enhance transesterification rate and biodiesel yield with lower energy consumption. 26,136 The limitations of utilizing in the scMeOH transesterification process for biodiesel conversation are the high capital cost investment required for setting up the high pressure and temperature technology.…”

The present experimental study aims at exploring the effect of Jatropha biodiesel and diesel blends on a single cylinder four stroke diesel engine. Jatropha biodiesel has been obtained from Jatropha oil by Transesterification process. In this experimentation, the effects of parameters` i.e. injection pressure, blend ratio, inlet water-flow rate and load are taken as adaptable for optimization. The Taguchi method of optimization has been used with four parameters and three levels of experiments. In the end, Taguchi experiment identifies that at JB50, injection pressure 150 bar, engine water flow 400 lph and engine load 11 kg is the optimum parameter setting for higher engine mechanical efficiency. This experiment was conducted using optimal combination of parameters has indicated that peak pressure decreased by about 1.66% and 3.06%, maximum fuel line pressure was reduced by 5.09% and 8.04% and the net heat release was lowered by 10.70% and 21.41% for JB50 and JB100 respectively.

“…The combustion of unheated jatropha oil emits higher CO and HC amounts than diesel, which can be alleviated only after the oil is preheated. Sankumgon et al [16] mixed jatropha oil, diesel oil, and ethanol ternary and added a non-ionic surfactant in the control group to improve the mixing effect. It was found that the increase in ethanol and surfactant content reduced the viscosity of the fuel mixture, and CO and smoke emissions were also greatly reduced.…”

Palm oil is one of the most common and productive vegetable oils, so it is often used as an excellent feedstock for biodiesel production. However, due to the high viscosity and other issues of palm oil, it cannot be directly used as an alternative fuel for diesel engines unless some treatment is carried out. In this study, the effects of palm oil-diesel blend fuel on the nitrogen oxides (NOx)–smoke trade-off characteristics were investigated in a common rail direct injection (CRDI) diesel engine under various injection pressures and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) rates. It was found that NOx and smoke from the combustion of fuel containing 50% palm oil (P50D50) were simultaneously suppressed by 3% and 3.1% compared with diesel fuel at an injection pressure of 400 bar, respectively. The performance of P50D50 was comparable to that of diesel, but at high injection pressure and high EGR rate, it showed shorter ignition delay (ID) and lower smoke emission.
