Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization of neem methyl ester from transesterification process and fuel characterization as a diesel substitute
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of process parameters such as molar ratio, preheating temperature, catalyst concentration and reaction time was studied to standardize the transesterification process for estimating the highest recovery of ester with lowest possible viscosity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Waste materials as potential catalysts for biodiesel production: Current state and future scope
TL;DR: In this article, a brief overview of the developments of various Ca-based catalysts derived from waste materials as an efficient catalyst for biodiesel production with significant yield is presented, where the waste materials employed as heterogeneous catalysts have an abundance of natural Ca content and they have high catalyst activity and selectivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiesel production from waste cooking oil using heterogeneous catalysts and its operational characteristics on variable compression ratio CI engine
TL;DR: In this article, the optimum condition for base catalyzed transesterification of waste cooking oil was determined to be 12:1 and 5 ¼wt% of zinc doped calcium oxide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of compression ratio on combustion, performance, and emission characteristics of compression ignition engine fueled with palm (B20) biodiesel blend
Pali Rosha,Saroj Kumar Mohapatra,Sunil Kumar Mahla,Haeng-Muk Cho,Bhupendra Singh Chauhan,Amit Dhir +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of variable compression ratio (16:1, 17:1 and 18:1) on various engine characteristics by fuelling 20% palm biodiesel blending compression ignition engine was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of gaseous fuel induction on the various engine characteristics of a dual fuel compression ignition engine: A review
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of gaseous fuels (like H2, biogas, syngas) addition to CI diesel engine under dual fuel mode with diesel/biodiesel as a pilot fuel was analyzed and compared with CI engine working under single fuel mode.
