BIODIESEL AS A BLENDED FUEL IN COMPRESSION IGNITION ENGINES

Sclerocarya Birrea Biodiesel as an Alternative Fuel for Compression Ignition Engines

Modeling of Compression Engines Using Biodiesel as Fuel

A single zone C.I engine model has been developed in an in-house code that would be suitable for conventional diesel as well as for alternative fuel (biodiesels), to predict the pressure and temperature variation along crank angle, work done, mean effective pressure, power output and other engine parameters suitable for biodiesel. The model has been validated with the experimental results. Perf...

A Study on Application of Biogas as fuel in Compression Ignition Engines

Biogas derived from organic wastes is considered as good alternative to petroleum fuels. It can be used in compression ignition (CI) engines, because of its better mixing ability with air and clean burning nature. Biogas is produced by anaerobic digestion of various organic substances such as kitchen wastes, agricultural wastes, municipal solid wastes, cow dung etc., in absence of oxygen, which...

Investigating the effects of fuel injection strategies in a dual-fuel diesel-H2 compression ignition engine

In this computational research, the separate and simultaneous impacts of diesel direct injection timing, fuel spraying cone angle, and hydrogen gas addition on combustion characteristics, output emissions, and performance in a single-cylinder direct injection diesel engine was studied. In order to conduct the simulations, valid and reliable models for combustion, break-up, and for turbulence wa...

Biodiesel as an Alternative Fuel for Diesel Engines

There is growing interest in biodiesel (fatty acid methyl ester or FAME) because of the similarity in its properties when compared to those of diesel fuels. Diesel engines operated on biodiesel have lower emissions of carbon monoxide, unburned hydrocarbons, particulate matter, and air toxics than when operated on petroleum-based diesel fuel. Production of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) from rap...
