Biofuels (alcohols and biodiesel) applications as fuels for internal combustion engines

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the production, characterization and current statuses of vegetable oil and biodiesel as well as the experimental research work carried out in various countries is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biodiesel production from high FFA rubber seed oil

TL;DR: A two-step transesterification process is developed to convert the high free fatty acids (FFA) oils to its mono-esters in this article, where the important properties of biodiesel such as specific gravity, flash point, cloud point and pour point are found out and compared with that of diesel.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biodiesel production via acid catalysis

TL;DR: In this paper, the molar ratio of alcohol, reaction temperature, reaction time, water content, and free fatty acids were investigated to determine the best strategy for producing biodiesel.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review on biodiesel production, combustion, emissions and performance

TL;DR: A literature review on biodiesel production, combustion, performance and emissions is presented in this article, where a vast majority of the scientists reported that short-term engine tests using vegetable oils as fuels were very promising but the longterm test results showed higher carbon built up and lubricating oil contamination resulting in engine failure.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of biodiesel oxidation on engine performance and emissions

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of oxidized biodiesel on engine performance and emissions was evaluated on a John Deere 4276T turbocharged DI diesel engine with three injection timings (3° advanced, standard, and 3° retarded).

Performance and Emissions Characteristics of a Naturally Aspirated Diesel Engine with Vegetable Oil Fuels-(Part 2)

TL;DR: In this article, a naturally aspirated, direct injected diesel engine was used to evaluate the performance and emissions characteristics of a crude soybean oil, a 50 percent (by volume) mixture of crude soybeans oil and no. 2 diesel fuel.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diesel Engine Combustion of Sunflower Oil Fuels

TL;DR: In this paper, the performance, combustion, and exhaust emissions of diesel fuel, a blend of 25% sunflower oil in diesel fuel and Sunflower oil methyl ester have been compared.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Performance of lubricating oils in vegetable oil ester-fuelled diesel engines

TL;DR: A series of engine dynamometer tests was carried out with 100% ethyl ester of soya oil as fuel and six different diesel engine lubricants in this paper, and each case the lubricant became contaminated by unburnt fuel during the tests with measured dilution rates of up to 2% of the fuel throughput.
Journal ArticleDOI

Energy release rates from hybrid fuels

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the HEAT release patterns of hybrid fuels containing diesel fuel and soybean oil in a micro-emulsion with ethanol and found that the hybrid fuels were found to burn faster with higher levels of premixed burning and lower levels of diffusion flame burning than diesel fuel.

The Use of Saponified Vegetable Oil Distillates/Ethanol Microcellular Solution as a Diesel Fuel

TL;DR: In this article, the performance of saponified soybean oil/aqueous ethanol microcellular solutions were tested in a single-cylinder, direct injection, air-cooled diesel engine.
