... for oil. Biodiesel is a renewable alternative fuel that is environmentally friendly. The significant increase in nitrogen oxide (NO x ) emissions is the most notable disadvantage of biodiesel. This study examined the effect of antioxidant-treated Jatropha biodiesel on the performance and exhaust emission...

...-friendly fuels for diesel engines. Jatropha biodiesel has been produced from JCO, using heterogeneous catalyst (CaO) through transesterification process. In this study, the performance and emission characteristics of an engine powered by a Jatropha biodiesel blends have been investigated. The application...

...Akash Chandrabhan Chandekar; Sushmita Deka; Biplab Kumar Debnath; Pallekonda Ramesh Babu The persistent efforts among the researchers are being done to reduce emissions by the exploration of different alternative fuels. The application of alternative fuel is also found to influence engine vibration...

...) was investigated as an additive in this work. DTBP was shown to influence the combustion and emission properties of waste cooking oil biodiesel-diesel blends. The multi-objective response surface technique (MORSM) with Box-Behnken design was used to decrease the number of trials to conserve precious resources...

... than nitromethane-methanol blend and was only 14% higher than gasoline. The emission analysis showed lower HC emissions with the tri-component blends proving the improved combustion efficiency due to better mixing of the fuel-air mixture. Combustion analysis showed the increased heat release rate...

The objective of this study is to achieve dual-fuel engine thermal efficiency and emissions better than those of a diesel mode while utilizing alternative fuels. A new approach consisting of a combined strategy using dimethyl ether (DME...

... engine performance, sustainable energy, fuel economy, and minimal harmful exhaust emissions. Even though globally large database now captures modern engine technologies, a skillful presentation of those data is a demanding task. Based on this analogy, the authors made a conscious effort to brief audience...

Cerium...

... of the nonroad modified diesel engine is reported with the effective use of the hybrid Entropy-VIKOR approach. Hence, it becomes necessary to prioritize and optimize the performance defining criteria, which provides higher BTE along with lower emission simultaneously. The engine load, injection timing (Inj Tim...

... fuel. We have noted about 5% decrease in power and torque and about 2% in Nox emission for every 10% of biodiesel blend added comparatively to pure diesel. However, the use of biodiesel has slightly increased specific fuel consumption (about 6% for every 10% of biodiesel blend added). 26 10 2011...

...Probir Kumar Bose; Rahul Banerjee With emission legislations getting more stringent in order to comply with the responsibilities of environmental obligations, engine manufacturers are turning to explore new avenues to meet the paradox of curtailing particulate matter (PM) and NOx emissions on one...

Romeiro; Ednilton T. de Andrade The present work describes an experimental investigation concerning the exhaust emissions and the electric energy generation using blends of diesel and an alternative fuel obtained...

...Murari Mohon Roy This study investigated the effect of fuel injection timing and injection pressure on combustion and odorous emissions in a direct injection diesel engine. Injection timings from 15 deg before top dead center (BTDC) to top dead center (TDC) and injection pressures from 20 MPa...

...M. P. Ashok; C. G. Saravanan In this present work, the various emulsified fuel ratios of 50D:50E (50% Diesel No. 2: 50% ethanol 100% proof), 60D:40E, and 70D:30E have been prepared. Performance and emission tests are carried out for the emulsified fuel ratios and they have been compared with diesel...
