TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate and compare the basic fuel properties of the ternary blends of diesel (D), waste oil methyl ester (biodiesel (B)) and the higher alcohols of propanol (Pro), n-butanol (nB) and 1-pentanol (Pn), and their effects on engine performance and exhaust emissions of a diesel engine.
307 citations
TL;DR: In this article, n-butanol was used as the common solvent and crude canola (Cn), soybean (Sb), sunflower (Sf), corn (Cr), olive (Ol), and hazelnut oil (Hn) components were used for making microemulsification of diesel fuel (D)-vegetable oil blends.
178 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of using n-butanol in vegetable oil-diesel fuel blends on engine performance and exhaust emissions of a direct injection diesel engine operating at full load (100% throttle conditions) with different engine speeds without any engine modification was evaluated.
174 citations
TL;DR: In this article, 2-ethylhexyl nitrate (EHN) cetane improver was added at 500, 1000 and 2000ppm concentration to the microemulsions of D (70 vol.%) and Pn (10 vol.%).
173 citations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focused on finding diesel fuel, n-butanol, and cotton oil optimum blend ratios for diesel engine applications by using the response surface method (RSM), where test fuels were prepared by choosing 7 different concentrations, where phase decomposition did not occur in the phase diagram of −10°C.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight and review the properties of a variety of the biodiesel fuels derived from non-edible feedstocks which are termed as third generation biodiesel and its effects on the performance and emissions of the diesel engines.
Abstract: In the effect of robust industrialization and rapid augmentation of a number of fleets, there has been a huge rise in the fossil fuel consumption. Tremendous increase in global warming threatens the ecological balance of the earth. Based on the recent sorts of hardship about the fuel, researchers are profoundly pondered over the field of renewability, environmentally friendly and economically doable. In recent decades biodiesel fuel becomes the center of attraction among researchers since it is renewable, bio degradable, non-noxious, eco-friendly and sustainable. This review paper highlights and reviews the properties of prosperous variety of the biodiesel fuels derived from non-edible feedstocks which are termed as third generation biodiesel and its effects on the performance and emissions of the diesel engines. It was observed that the physicochemical properties of the biodiesel differ based on the types of feedstocks and also have a considerable effect on the potential performance of engine and dynamic characteristics of emission level. Also, the usage of biodiesel commonly leads to a reduction in noxious pollutants like carbon monoxide, unburnt hydrocarbon and particulate matter with an obvious increase in fuel consumption and NOx emission. This review provides a prospective strategy for the researchers for enhancing the engine performance and emission characteristics by using the third generation biofuels and its blends with the productive marvelous outcomes.
