Journal ArticleDOI
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
Mustafa Canakci,J. H. Van Gerpen +1 more
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
Abdul Monyem,Jon H. Van Gerpen +1 more
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)
A. L. Humke,N. J. Barsic +1 more
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.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
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.
