Influence of injection timing and exhaust gas recirculation of a Calophyllum inophyllum methyl ester fuelled CI engine

TL;DR: In this paper, a strategy is developed to reduce NOX emissions of Calophyllum inophyllium biodiesel fuelled diesel engine by varying the injection timing between 21°, 23° and 25° bTDC and by admitting exhaust gas recirculation at the rate of 10, 20% and 30%.

Optimization of transesterification process for Ceiba pentandra oil: A comparative study between kernel-based extreme learning machine and artificial neural networks

TL;DR: In this article, kernel-based extreme learning machine (K-ELM) and artificial neural network (ANN) models were developed in order to predict the conditions of an alkaline-catalysed transesterification process The reliability of these models was assessed and compared based on the coefficient of determination (R2), root mean squared error (RSME), mean average percent error (MAPE), and relative percent deviation (RPD)

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.
