TLDR
In this paper, the performance and exhaust emissions of a diesel engine fueled with Fuel A (60% diesel 30% biodiesel 5% ethanol 5% butanol) and Fuel B (40% diesel 25% 50% 25% 5% E&E 5% Butanol) were investigated.Abstract:
In this study, performance and exhaust emissions of a diesel engine fueled with Fuel A (60% diesel–30% biodiesel–5% ethanol–5% butanol) and Fuel B (40% diesel–50% biodiesel–5% ethanol–5% butanol) were investigated. The biodiesel produced from trap grease was obtained with an oil separator. Fuel A and Fuel B were tested in a single cylinder, four-stroke diesel engine at full load conditions. Compared with diesel fuel, the performance characteristics of blend fuels slightly deteriorated while the emission characteristics improved significantly. CO and HC emissions decreased by 87.01 and 87.50%, respectively.read more

Progress and recent trends in biodiesel fuels
TL;DR: The most important variables affecting methyl ester yield during the transesterification reaction are the molar ratio of alcohol to vegetable oil and the reaction temperature as discussed by the authors, which is the commonly used alcohol in this process, due to its low cost.
