TL;DR: In this article, the impacts on fuel consumption and exhaust emissions of a diesel power generator operating with biodiesel were investigated, and the results showed increased fuel consumption with higher biodiesel concentration in the fuel.

TL;DR: The exhaust emissions from a diesel power generator operating with waste cooking oil biodiesel blends have been studied and show that the addition of biodiesel to the fuel increases oxides of nitrogen (NO(X), carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbon (HC) emissions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the physical and chemical properties of fuel blends of waste cooking oil biodiesel or castor-oil biodiesel with diesel oil were evaluated using standard test methods, and the results were analyzed based on present specifications for biodiesel fuel in Brazil, Europe and USA.

TL;DR: In this paper, a pioneer study on Eucalyptus tar pitch, its chemical characterization, and pretreatment aiming toward the production of carbon fibers is presented, which is important for the subsequent steps in material processing and for the final product performance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the aging effects on the properties of commercially available fuel blends, two samples of regular E25, one sample of standard E25 with additives, and one sample with high octane E25 were tested.
