The results of an experimental work carried out to evaluate the effect of palm oil methyl esters, also known as palm oil diesel (POD) and its emulsions as alternative fuel on unmodified indirect injection diesel engine's wear and lube oil performance are presented in this paper. Half throttle engine with constant 2500 rpm setting was maintained throughout the wear debris and lube oil analysis s...

Biodiesel from waste sources can be considered as the cheapest and most viable fuel alternative to depleting mineral diesel. In this work, biodiesel has been produced different of oil; grilled chicken oil (GCWO) which is animal based source cooking (WCO) vegetable using transesterification method. The impact variables such temperature, time, amount catalyst on conversion yield were investigated...

The combustion of straight vegetable oil (SVO) in internal combustion engines has shown conflicting results in emissions, power, and engine longevity. Many early studies suggested that SVO should not be considered for long term use in diesel engines. However, waste vegetable oil has been fueling adapted vehicles in progressive communities for years. The issues involved in the combustion of SVO ...

Biodiesel is a fatty acid alkyl ester which is renewable, biodegradable and non-toxic fuel which can be derived from any vegetable oil and animal fats. Vegetable oils and animal fats in their raw form have high viscosity that makes them unsuitable as fuels for diesel engines. Transesterification is one of the well-known process by which fats and oils are converted into biodiesel. The reaction o...

The aim of this work was to study the combustion, performance, and emission characteristics of a 5.5 kW four-stroke single-cylinder water-cooled direct-injection diesel engine operated with blends of biodiesel-like fuel (BLF15, BLF20 & BLF25) obtained from a 50:50 mixture of transesterified waste transformer oil (TWTO) and waste canola oil methyl esters (WCOME) with petroleum diesel. The mixtur...

The potential for biodiesel to become the main fuel in future seems be getting brighter with enactment of government policies related implementation Euro 4 standard. In addition, has also launched de-carbonization reduce greenhouse effect by referring International Maritime Organization (IMO) plan which sets a target reducing world carbon emissions 40% 2030 and 70% 2050. To answer this challeng...
