Basic properties of methyl palmitate-diesel blends

Performance and emissions of an agricultural diesel engine fuelled with different diesel and methyl ester blends

This paper shows the results of an investigation carried out to assess the application of different fuels produced by blending diesel fuel with methyl ester obtained from mixture of 75% (v/v) sunflower oil and 25% (v/v) used cooking oil on a Kubota agricultural indirect injection diesel engine, natural aspirated, and with a rated horsepower of 19.7 kW. Seven fuels, namely diesel fuel; 90:10, 80...

Appropriation of bio - diesel blends in diesel engine

Experimental Performance Analysis of Lower Concentration Blends of Thumba Methyl Ester with Diesel

In all over the world the demand of energy is increasing day by day and fossil fuels are depleting at a very fast rate, therefore to fulfill the energy demand of the world there is a need to find out an alternative fuel and in this depleting fossil fuel era Biodiesel is one of the best available energy source to overcome the world’s energy demand. There is a long list of shrubs, trees, and herb...

Using Blends of Diesel Fuel and Methyl Esters of Beef Tallow’

A Cummins N14-410 diesel engine was operated on twelve fuels produced by blending methyl tailowate, methyl soyate and ethanol with No.2 diesel fuel. Engine incylinder pressure data were used to evaluate engine performance. Peak cylinder pressures for each fuel blend at all engine speeds were lower than peak pressure for diesel fuel with the exception of the 80 % diesel, 13 % methyl tallowate, a...

Combustion Analysis of Jatropha Methyl Ester and Its Ethanol and Acetone Blends in a Diesel Engine

The present study analyzes the heat release and combustion characteristics of diesel, pure biodiesel (B100) obtained from Jatropha oil and its 80% blending with Ethanol (BD80E20) and Acetone (BD80AC20) as fuels in a single cylinder four stroke direct injection (DI) diesel engine. The analyses of experimental results indicate that the pressure of the in-cylinder gases rise early in case of B100,...
