Effect of the alcohol type used in the production of waste cooking oil biodiesel on diesel performance and emissions
TLDR
In this article, two different alcohol-derived biodiesel fuels: methyl ester and ethyl ester, both obtained from waste cooking oil, were tested pure and blended with a diesel reference fuel, which was tested too, in a 2.2l, common-rail injection diesel engine.About:

Review of biodiesel composition, properties, and specifications
TL;DR: In this paper, the fatty acid (FA) profiles of 12 common biodiesel feedstocks were summarized, and it was shown that several fuel properties, including viscosity, specific gravity, cetane number, iodine value, and low temperature performance metrics are highly correlated with the average unsaturation of the FA profiles.

Review of the effects of biodiesel on NOx emissions
S. Kent Hoekman,Curtis Robbins +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed and summarized relevant literature regarding the so-called "biodiesel NOx effect, and presented theories to explain this effect in modern diesel engines, several factors related to fuel composition and engine control strategies are important.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overview of the production of biodiesel from Waste cooking oil
TL;DR: The most common process in the production of biodiesel is transesterification, and using a methanol-ethanol mixture will combine the advantages of both alcohols in biodiesel production.

Combustion of fat and vegetable oil derived fuels in diesel engines
TL;DR: In this paper, the status of fat and oil derived diesel fuels with respect to fuel properties, engine performance, and emissions is reviewed, and it is concluded that the price of the feedstock fat or oil is the major factor determining biodiesel price.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of biodiesel fuels on diesel engine emissions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors collected and analyzed the body of work written mainly in scientific journals about diesel engine emissions when using biodiesel fuels as opposed to conventional diesel fuels, focusing on the most concerning emissions: nitric oxides and particulate matter.

Exhaust emissions from a Diesel engine fueled with transesterified waste olive oil
TL;DR: In this paper, the exhaust emissions of a Diesel direct injection Perkins engine fueled with waste olive oil methyl ester were studied at several steady-state operating conditions, characterized with neat biodiesel from used olive oil and conventional Diesel fuel.
