Abstract:In this study, an alternative diesel fuel, of which chemical modification was made by transesterification with short chain methyl alcohols, was produced from cottonseed oil. The modified products were then evaluated according to their fuel chemical properties as compared to diesel fuel. The purpose of this study is to investigate the emission characteristics of the fuel blend of 75% cottonseed oil methyl ester with 25% diesel fuel in a single cylinder unmodified diesel engine. The effects of biofuel and diesel… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
