Comparison of Relevant Exhaust Gas Emissions from Biodiesel and Fossil Diesel Fuel
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fossil diesel fuel and rape seed oil methylester are compared with regard to exhaust gas emissions and effects of these emissions on human health and the environment. Tests were carried out using an agricultural tractor and a test engine. The aspects treated are: use of blends, particle sizes, mutagenic potency of the particulate matter, and ozone precursors. Whereas slight disadvantages of biodiesel were found concerning NOX and ozone precursors, a significant soot reduction was observed that is connected with a lower mutagenic potency of the particulate matter.

Performance and Emissions of a Tractor engine operating on biodiesel-diesel blends with EGR
The influences of different diesel/biodiesel blends and EGR rate on brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC), exhaust gas temperature, NO, HC, CO emissions, are studied and demonstrated. In this paper a four stroke direct injection, water cooled, diesel engine was used. Biodiesel either in neat form or as a blend with diesel fuel is extensively investigated to solve the twin problem of reduction ...
متن کاملRice Bran Oil Biodiesel as an Additive in Diesel- Ethanol Blends for Diesel Engines
A number of studies currently focus on the renewable fuels to reduce the reliance on petroleum fuels. Biofuels such as biodiesel and bioethanol have been studied and tested in many countries including India. One of the methods to reduce the use of fossil fuel is blending ethanol with fossil diesel. However, an emulsifier or a co-solvent is needed to homogenize the diesel-ethanol blends. The ric...
متن کاملEffects of Pilot Injection Timing and EGR on Combustion, Performance and Exhaust Emissions in a Common Rail Diesel Engine Fueled with a Canola Oil Biodiesel-Diesel Blend
Biodiesel as a clean energy source could reduce environmental pollution compared to fossil fuel, so it is becoming increasingly important. In this study, we investigated the effects of different pilot injection timings from before top dead center (BTDC) and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) on combustion, engine performance, and exhaust emission characteristics in a common rail diesel engine fuel...
