Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Biodiesel Utilization of Wear of Vital Parts in Compression Ignition Engine
TL;DR: In this article, a 20 percent biodiesel-fuelled engine was evaluated for long-term endurance tests on both diesel and biodiesel, and the results showed substantially lower wear and thus improved life for biodiesel operated engines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combustion characteristics of diesel HCCI engine: An experimental investigation using external mixture formation technique
TL;DR: In this article, a two-cylinder diesel HCCI engine with one cylinder modified to operate in homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) mode, while other cylinder operate in conventional CI mode.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combustion, performance, emissions and particulate characterization of a methanol–gasoline blend (gasohol) fuelled medium duty spark ignition transportation engine
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance, emissions, combustion characteristics and particulate size-number distribution of 10 and 20% methanol blends (M10 and M20) with gasoline in a medium duty spark ignition transportation engine, typically used in a mid-sized car vis-a-vis baseline gasoline.
Journal ArticleDOI
Particulate emissions from biodiesel vs diesel fuelled compression ignition engine
TL;DR: In this paper, a one to one comparison between PM emitted from a mid-size engine running on petroleum-based diesel versus biodiesel was provided. And the results showed that metals that come from engine wear are not present in biodiesel exhaust particulate due to its self lubricating properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential and challenges for large-scale application of biodiesel in automotive sector.
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the most prominent methods of biodiesel production commercially, life-cycle analysis and economic issues related to biodiesel, engine performance, combustion and emission characteristics including particulate, engine compatibility issues and effect of biodies usage on engine component wear and lubricating oil are comprehensively discussed.
