TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a comprehensive review on the production, performance and emissions from a compression ignition engine using biodiesel as an alternative to fossil based diesel fuel, and the overall impression is that the performance of the engine slightly deteriorates with the use of biodiesel partially or fully instead of diesel.

TL;DR: In this article, an attempt has been made to simulate a compression ignition engine using diesel-ethanol and diesel-methanol blends as fuels, the engine considered for the simulation is a single cylinder, naturally aspirated, water cooled, direct injection, four stroke diesel engine.

TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical simulation has been carried out in order to evaluate the performance, combustion and emission characteristics of a compression ignition engine using different biodiesel-alcohol blends as fuels.

TL;DR: The effect of addition of jatropha biodiesel to mineral diesel on the performance and emission characteristics of a conventional c ompression ignition engine have been experimentally investigated and compared with simulated data using Diesel-RK software as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, an attempt has been made to review critically the production methods of water emulsified diesel fuel and its effects on the combustion, performance and emission characteristics of diesel engine based on the experimental results available in the literature.
