Triglycerides-based diesel fuels
Anjana Srivastava,Ram Prasad +1 more
TL;DR: The main advantages of using biodiesel are its renewability, better-quality exhaust gas emissions, its biodegradability and given that all the organic carbon present is photosynthetic in origin, it does not contribute to a rise in the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and consequently to the greenhouse effect as mentioned in this paper.

Solubility of a diesel-biodiesel-ethanol blend, its fuel properties, and its emission characteristics from diesel engine
TL;DR: In this paper, the phase diagram of diesel-biodiesel-ethanol blends at different purities of ethanol and different temperatures was examined and compared to those of base diesel.
Journal ArticleDOI
An experimental comparison of methods to use methanol and Jatropha oil in a compression ignition engine
TL;DR: In this paper, various methods of using vegetable oil (Jatropha oil) and methanol such as blending, transesterification and dual fuel operation were studied experimentally.

Effect of cetane number improver on heat release rate and emissions of high speed diesel engine fueled with ethanol–diesel blend fuel
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of cetane number improver on heat release rate and emissions of a high-speed diesel engine fueled with ethanol-diesel blend fuel was investigated, and the results showed that: the brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) increased, the diesel equivalent BSFC decreased, the thermal efficiency improved remarkably, and NOx and smoke emissions decreased simultaneously.
