“…The energy content of biodiesel is lower than fossil fuel at the same power. Particularly, at 100% load condition shows less BSEC than other percentages of load in all conditions of the engine (Muthukumaran et al, 2018).…”

“…Diesel engines are produced in the versions of two and four strokes. Nowadays, the two-stroke engines are banned in cars, but used in marine applications, because the pollutants from the two-stroke engines are very high compared to the four-stroke engines (Muthukumaran et al, 2018). In two-stroke engines, the power stroke is obtained by each crank revolution, so that we get the power output twice as much as the four-stroke.…”

“…If engine modification and some additives are added to biodiesel to optimize performance and completely alternate diesel fuel. Muthukumaran et al, 2018 prepared mahua biodiesel using a catalytic cracking process and investigated diesel engine performance, combustion and emission characteristics fuelled by cracked mahua biodiesel blend with diesel. Mahua biodiesel has been produced by using cheap heterogeneous catalysts (coal ash) because of the reduction in biofuel costs.…”

Currently, the research of a single-cylinder 4-stroke direct injection diesel engine, which was naturally aspired, was used, and two modification methods were used. The first is the low-heat rejection method (LHR), and the second is the low-temperature combustion method (LTC). LHR was introduced into the engine by ceramic coating with alumina, which is applied to engine components such as the piston, cylinder lining, and valves and has a thickness of 300 microns without affecting the dimensions of the engine parts. In the next method, low - temperature combustion (LTC) method is done with EGR technique. And the exhaust gas recirculation setting (EGR) is included in the same setup as that of first method. Since, 15% of an exhaust gas is used in the EGR process. The diesel is blended with 20% of mahua biodiesel and 5% of ethanol as a fuel. After that, the engine performance is tested with conventional fuel when compared with biodiesel as a combined LHR and LTC methods. Finally, the engine output is increased by up to 3.48% as a result of the combination of LHR and LTC. As a result, emission levels could be dramatically decreased, and other results obtained could include a decrease in infrared radiation, resulting in a decrease in specific fuel consumption (SFC), and a substantial improvement in engine efficiency characteristics.

“…Meanwhile, the CFA-3 was categorized as Class F fly ash. The presence of appreciable amounts of SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, CaO prompts the use of CFA and BA as catalyst or catalyst supports for various reactions [13]. Among CFA and BA, CFA-2 showed higher content of free CaO which attributed to a high number of basic sites on its surface, resulting in the high catalytic activity of transesterification reaction.…”

Coal fly ash (CFA) and bottom ash (BA) obtained from coal fired power plants in Thailand and local supplier were characterized using XRF, XRD and N2 adsorption-desorption techniques. Their possibilities for conversion of palm oil into biodiesel were investigated. Selected CFA was also modified with lanthanum (La) at different La loading and the influence of La loading on biodiesel conversion was evaluated. The resulted showed that the Class C CFA as contained large amount of CaO (free lime) could catalyze the transesterification to achieve the highest FAME content of 89% under the operation conditions; the reaction temperature of 200 °C, the reaction pressure of 39 bars, the catalyst loading of 5 wt% of oil, the molar of oil to methanol of 1:30 and the stirring speed of 600 rpm for 5 h. The addition of La on the Class C CFA had a negative effect on conversion of palm oil. The FAME content decreased gradually from 89 to 62% with increasing La loading from 0 to 1 wt%.
