In this study; metanol-diesel fuel, organometal MnO2 fuels were used to improve the properties of diesel fuel. Besides, the effect of methanol fuel on engine oil was also examined experimentally in a four cylinder, direct injection diesel engine running at 200 bar. Three different diesel fuels were prepared by adding 5, 10 and 15% methanol into diesel fuel. In order to prevent phase separation ...

We show that the cost of increasing biofuel mandates given a binding ethanol blend wall will fall disproportionately on diesel fuel consumers. The extent of the burden on diesel fuel consumers is explained neither by their relatively more inelastic demand nor by blenders seeking to capitalize on the biodiesel tax credit. Relaxing the blend wall constraint by increasing the potential demand for ...

In the present study, the high viscosity of the jatropha curcas oil was decreased by preheating. The effect of fuel inlet temperature on performance of diesel engine is evaluated. A single cylinder, four stroke, constant speed, air cooled, direct injection diesel engine developing a power output of 3.7 kW at 1500 rev/min typically used in agricultural sector was tested using neat jatropha oil a...

Fuel injection is systems for supplying high pressurize fuel to maximum mixing of fuel with air in an internal combustion engine. Direct Injection (DI) Systems as used in DI engines, in which the fuel is injected directly into a combustion chamber formed in the clylinder itself. The fuel injector directly injects fuel into the direct fuel injection system. The injector is a very complicated par...

Nano-additives blended water-diesel emulsion fuel is the alternative fuel for compression ignition (CI) engine that reduce the NOx emission and at the same time increase the brake thermal efficiency due to combined effect of nanoparticles and micro explosion phenomenon of water diesel emulsion. This review paper addresses emulsion, emulsion types, micro-explosion phenomenon of water-diesel emul...

diesel fuel has a limited resource and concerns over environmental pollution areleading to the use of ‘bio-origin fuels’ as they are renewable and environmentally benign. jatrophamethyl ester, an esterified biofuel, has an excellent cetane number and a reasonable calorific value.it closely resembles the behaviour of diesel. however, being a fuel of different origin, the standarddesign limits of...

biofuels are playing important role in recent decades as substitutes for petro diesel. biodiesel derived from vegetable oils are found to give comparable performance and emission characteristics. in this paper a comparative study has been done between two fuels combinations i.e. jatropha and castor. the biodiesel was prepared from neat oils and blends of biodiesel (up till 20%) were prepared wi...

This study offers comprehensive details on the use of bio-fuel as a viable and alternative source of energy. The bio-fuel was prepared from vegetable oil, i.e., mustard oil and tested in a diesel engine in both pure form and as a diesel blend. The mustard oil blend proportions were 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% and named as bio-diesel blends B20, B30, B40 and B50. A fuel-testing laboratory determined t...

The conversion of biomass to energy (also called bio energy) encompasses a wide range of different types and sources of biomass, conversion options, end user applicationsand infrastructure requirements. Mustard oil biodiesel performed very well in vehicles. Fuel consumption increased compared to fossil diesel because biodiesel has slightly less energy per gallon than diesel fuel. The fuel filte...

Combustion phasing is the main obstacle to the development of controlled auto-ignition based (CAI) engines to achieve low emissions and low fuel consumption operation. Fuel combinations with substantial differences in reactivity, such as diesel/compressed natural gas (CNG), show desirable combustion outputs and demonstrate great possibility in controlling the combustion. This paper discusses a ...
