This study deals with artificial neural network (ANN) modeling a diesel engine using waste cooking biodiesel fuel to predict the brake power, torque, specific fuel consumption and exhaust emissions of engine. To acquire data for training and testing the proposed ANN, two cylinders, four-stroke diesel engine was fuelled with waste vegetable cooking biodiesel and diesel fuel blends and operated a...

The utilization of ferric-manganese promoted molybdenum oxide/zirconia (Fe-Mn- MoO3/ZrO2) (FMMZ) solid acid catalyst for production of biodiesel was demonstrated. FMMZ is produced through impregnation reaction followed by calcination at 600°C for 3 h. The characterization of FMMZ had been done using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermal gravimetric analysis (T...

With their higher sustainability index, biofuels, environmentally-friendly and renewable nature is a viable alternative energy source in the transportation sector. This study presents effect of waste cooking oil (WCO) biodiesel on performance, combustion, emission from compression ignition engine. The was blended with diesel varying proportions 5% 95% (designated as B5), 10% (B10), 15% (B15), 2...

The utilization of heterogeneous catalysts during the production biodiesel potentially minimize cost processing due to exclusion separation step. (X wt%)Ni–ZrO2 (where X = 10, 25 and 50) prepared through a hydrothermal process were tested for by transesterification waste cooking oil (WCO) with methanol. influences various reaction parameters systematically optimized. While physicochemical chara...

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are efficient, renewable and environment friendly polymeric esters. These polymers are synthesized by a variety of microbes under stress conditions. This study was carried out to check the suitability of waste frying oil in comparison to other oils for economical bioplastic production. Six bacterial strains were isolated and identified as Bacillus cereus (KF270349), ...

Presently, the use of fossil fuels is not ecologically sustainable, which results in need for new alternative energies such as biodiesel. This work presents a review classification lipidic feedstocks and catalysts biodiesel production. It also pros cons different processes through obtained. In this context, cooking oil (WCO) has emerged an with high potential making process sustainable. A detec...
