Characteristics of fish oil biodiesel with the impact of diesel fuel addition on a CI engine

The present study focuses on the optimization in the use of non-petroleum fuel derived from waste fish oil fuels, as a replacement for petroleum diesel fuel for compression ignition engine. The study comprises of comparison between results of fish oil biodiesel-diesel blends on a compression ignition engine. Fuel properties such as viscosity, density, heat value of fuel, cetane number and a fla...

Studies on Effect of Injection Timing of Graphene Nanoparticles Blended Simarouba Biodiesel Blend on CI Engine

Graphene is a monolayer carbon atoms discovered in the recent past which has inspired researchers in a wide range of applications. It has a surface area as high as 2630 m2/g and thermal conductivity value of 3000 W/mK-1 at room temperature. It is chemically the most reactive form of carbon with one carbon atom exposed to reaction from each side. Stable dispersion of graphene was achieved using ...

Studies on Performance and Emission Characteristics of Non-edible Oil (honge Oil) as Alternate Fuel in Ci Engine

Energy conservation is important for most of the developing countries, including rest of the world. The rapid depletion in world petroleum reserves and uncertainty in petroleum supply due to political and economical reasons, as well as the sharp escalations in the petroleum prices have stimulated the search for alternatives to petroleum fuels. The situation is very grave in developing countries...

Utilization of Biodiesel-Diesel-Ethanol Blends in CI Engine

Using Preheated Crude Sunflower Oil as a Fuel in a Diesel Engine

In this study, preheated crude sunflower oil at 75C was used in a fourcylinder, naturally aspirated, indirect injection diesel engine. The experiments were conducted at the constant engine speeds under the full load condition of the engine to determine the performance, combustion, and injection characteristics of test fuels. The engine test results have been compared with the reference values t...
