“…The operation of boilers with renewable fuels (vegetable oils, biodiesels, and dimethyl ether) has been studied by many researchers (Barnes et al, 2010;Daho et al, 2009;González-González et al, 2014;Jiru et al, 2010;Lee et al, 2004;Macor and Pavanello, 2009;Ng and Gan, 2010;Pereira et al, 2014;San José et al, 2015;Tashtoush et al, 2003). As the yearly prices of such alternatives in the global/domestic markets are quite competitive with those for petrodiesel, most of them assumed that their usage is economically feasible and costs are influenced by the use methyl esters in boilers.…”

“…As the yearly prices of such alternatives in the global/domestic markets are quite competitive with those for petrodiesel, most of them assumed that their usage is economically feasible and costs are influenced by the use methyl esters in boilers. The expenses of depreciation and maintenance, however, are worthy of scrutiny when boilers fuel with biodiesel instead of petrodiesel, since some researchers have shown that biodiesel usage in the boiler is problematic, e.g., coking and polymerization are more probable during biodiesel combustion (Barnes et al, 2010;Daho et al, 2009).…”

“…However, high viscosity and low volatility have been identified as major offenders to long-term engine operation. Comprehensive performance tests using vegetable oils have been evaluated in a cooking stove [11] operating on vegetable oils and kerosene blends [12], as well as in a pressure stove [13], vaporizing burner [14], and industrial boiler [15]. The exhaustive results obtained from these studies indicated that vegetable oils can be adopted as an alternative renewable fuel without major hardware modifications to the system components.…”

a b s t r a c tStudies related to porous burner for thermoelectric (TE) power generation have mainly focused toward achieving a specific range of power output for various applications. However, detailed analyses on the performance and emission aspects of the porous burner are lacking. In addition, physical integration between the burner and TE modules has added further complexity in this research area. Thus, this work aims to comprehend the effects of fueleair equivalence ratio on the performance and emission characteristics of a liquid fuel-fired porous burner for micro-cogeneration of TE power. A catalytically inert Al 2 O 3 porous medium was incorporated into a liquid fuel-fired porous burner operating on four mixtures of kerosene-vegetable cooking oil (VCO) blends: 100 kerosene, 90/10 KVCO, 75/25 KVCO, and 50/50 KVCO. Ten bismuth-telluride TE cells were arranged in a ten-sided polygon that, together with finned dissipators, formed a TE module electrically connected in series but thermally connected in parallel. The performance aspects at various fueleair equivalence ratios were thoroughly evaluated with the corresponding temperature profiles, voltage, current, power output, and electrical efficiency. Results indicated that the surface temperature of the porous media was generally higher than the developed and exit flame temperature of the burner. Varying the fuel-air equivalence ratio significantly affected the electrical efficiency, with a maximum and minimum value of 1.94% and 1.10%, respectively. The power output steadily increased in the lean region, but stabilized as the fueleair equivalence ratio slowly increased beyond the stoichiometric ratio. The CO emission was relatively lower at the lean region; however, significant amount was recorded in the rich combustion region. Moreover, NOx fluctuated between 1 ppm and 4 ppm over the entire range of fueleair equivalence ratio.

In this work, combustion process of diesel and biofuel blends is studied experimentally in an isothermal oven. Blends with respectively 20%, 40% and 60% of Ethanol (E20, E40, E60), 20%, 40% and 60% of Methanol (M20, M40, M60), and 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% of Biodiesel (B20, B40, B60, B80, B100), are comparatively analyzed focusing on wall temperature of the isothermal oven and emissions products from combustion. It is found that wall temperature drops with biodiesel content in blends and is higher compared with pure diesel, whatever the content of biodiesel. For diesel-ethanol and diesel-methanol blends the wall temperature is less than pure diesel. Unburned HCs and NOX emissions are very low for all blends and CO emissions increase with higher ethanol and methanol blends. For industrial applications that need high temperature (as drying, cooking, sterilization, others) the combustion of diesel-biodiesel blends are recommended.
