Journal ArticleDOI
Biofuels (alcohols and biodiesel) applications as fuels for internal combustion engines
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the production, characterization and current statuses of vegetable oil and biodiesel as well as the experimental research work carried out in various countries is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance and emissions characteristics of Jatropha oil (preheated and blends) in a direct injection compression ignition engine
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of reducing Jatropha oil's viscosity by increasing the fuel temperature (using waste heat of the exhaust gases) and thereby eliminating its effect on combustion and emission characteristics of the engine was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiesel Development and Characterization for Use as a Fuel in Compression Ignition Engines
Avinash Kumar Agarwal,L.M. Das +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a series of engine tests provided adequate and relevant information that the biodiesel can be used as an alternative, environment friendly fuel in existing diesel engines without substantial hardware modification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental investigations of performance and emissions of Karanja oil and its blends in a single cylinder agricultural diesel engine
TL;DR: In this article, an experimental investigation has been carried out to analyze the performance and emission characteristics of a compression ignition engine fuelled with Karanja oil and its blends (10, 20, 50% and 75%) vis-a-vis mineral diesel.
Journal ArticleDOI

Avinash Kumar Agarwal,Dhananjay Kumar Srivastava,Atul Dhar,Rakesh Kumar Maurya,Pravesh Chandra Shukla,Akhilendra Pratap Singh +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a single cylinder research engine was used to experimentally determine the effects of fuel injection strategies and injection timings on engine combustion, performance and emission characteristics, and the experiments were conducted at constant speed (2500-rpm) with two FIPs (500 and 1000 bars respectively) and different start of injection (SOI) timings.
