The Effect of Biodiesel Fuels on Transient Emissions from Modern Diesel Engines, Part I Regulated Emissions and Performance

Characteristics of carbonyl compounds emission from a diesel-engine using biodiesel–ethanol–diesel as fuel

“…It has properties similar to those of fossil diesel such that it can be substituted for diesel fuel with little or no engine modification. Many studies clearly indicated that biodiesel can substantially reduce the emissions of PM and CO (Cardone et al, 2002;Wang et al, 2000;Sharp et al, 2000a). Ethanol is a low cost oxygenated compound with high oxygen content (35%) that has been used in ethanol-diesel (E-diesel) fuel blends.…”

Emissão de material particulado por misturas ternárias compostas de biodiesel, etanol e óleo vegetal: uma comparação com o óleo diesel convencional

“…O enxofre compartilha o oxigênio disponível na fase tardia da combustão com o carbono resultante da queima parcial, em algumas condições de funcionamento do motor, aumentando a produção de material particulado (MUÑOZ; MORENO;MOREA, 2004;SHARP et al, 2000).…”

The Use of Biodiesel in Diesel Engines

“…A greater amount of fuel is subsequently required to maintain the same engine brake torque. Greater fuel consumption of up to 13% by the use of D-2 diesel-biodiesel mixture were reported with heavy-duty engines over the United States Federal Test Procedure (US-FTP) cycle (Sharp et al, 2000a). However, the energy efficiency is independent of fuel consumption (Graboski et al, 1996).…”

“…The engine power is dependent upon the energy density stored in the fuel (Chuepeng, 2008). Sharp et al (2000a) revealed their findings that 8% and 2% engine power losses are measured with neat biodiesel and B20 blends, respectively. In addition, Graboski et al (1996) found the reduction in maximum torque respective to the increase of biodiesel blend in a D-2 diesel.…”
