Comparison of biodiesel fuel behavior in a heavy duty turbocharged and a light duty naturally aspirated engine
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of biodiesel composition variations as well as engine type variations on the engine characteristics were investigated with four candidate biodiesel fuels, viz., sunflower, rice-bran, palm and coconut, in two different engine configurations, viz.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental investigations on combustion, performance, and emissions characteristics of a neat biodiesel-fuelled, turbocharged, direct injection diesel engine:
TL;DR: In this paper, a turbocharged, direct injection, multi-cylinder truck diesel engine using diesel fuel and neat karanja-oil-derived biodiesel under varying speed and load conditions was investigated and the results of the experimental investigation indicate that a maximum of 2.3°CA (crank angle) advance in dynamic fuel injection timing is observed with biodiesel compared with the diesel fuel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exploring the benefits of multiple injections in low temperature combustion using a diesel surrogate model
K. Anand,Rolf D. Reitz +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the use of multiple injection strategies to combat the above shortcomings in low temperature diesel combustion and found that significant benefits are possible with multiple injections, including lower unburned emissions and lower combustion noise.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental optimization of reactivity controlled compression ignition combustion in a light duty diesel engine
M. Murugesa Pandian,K. Anand +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors implemented reaction controlled compression ignition (RCCI) in a light duty diesel engine by replacing an existing mechanical fuel injection with a flexible common rail direct injection diesel system and a low pressure gasoline port fuel injection system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigation of biodiesel production methods by altering free fatty acid content in vegetable oils
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of variations in free fattens in free-fattens have been explored and compared with the transesterification of vegetable oils and animal fats.
