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.

Global anthropogenic emissions of particulate matter including black carbon

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a comprehensive assessment of global anthropogenic particulate matter (PM) emissions including the consistent and harmonized calculation of mass-based size distribution (PM1, PM2.5, PM10), as well as primary carbonaceous aerosols including black carbon (BC) and organic carbon (OC).
Journal ArticleDOI

Performance, emission and combustion characteristic of a multicylinder DI diesel engine running on diesel–ethanol–biodiesel blends of high ethanol content

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the feasibility of using high percentage of ethanol in diesel-ethanol blends, with biodiesel as a co-solvent and properties enhancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improving the low temperature properties of biodiesel fuel

TL;DR: In this paper, the cold flow properties of biodiesel were evaluated with and without pour point depressants towards the objectives of identifying the pumping and injecting of these biodiesel in CI engines under cold climates.

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

Impact of biodiesel source material and chemical structure on emissions of criteria pollutants from a heavy-duty engine.

TL;DR: It was found that the molecular structure of biodiesel can have a substantial impact on emissions and the properties of density, cetane number, and iodine number were found to be highly correlated with one another.

Emissions from nine heavy trucks fueled by diesel and biodiesel blend without engine modification

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a study that compared exhaust emissions from in-use heavy trucks fueled with a biodiesel blend with those from trucks fuelled with petroleum diesel, a blend designated as B35.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interest of combining an additive with diesel–ethanol blends for use in diesel engines

TL;DR: In this article, two organic additives were selected for their different physico-chemical parameters to study the behaviour of a diesel-ethanol mixture and two diesel engines with direct and indirect injection.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of ethanol blended diesel fuels on emissions from a diesel engine

TL;DR: In this paper, an additive used to keep the blends homogenous and stable, and an ignition improver, which can enhance cetane number of the blends, have favorable effects on the physicochemical properties related to ignition and combustion of diesel fuel with 10% and 30% ethanol by volume.
