In this paper the effect of various vegetable oils on pollutant emissions of
biodiesel blends with gasoil in a furnace is studied experimentally. The
exhaust gas temperature and emissions of CO, NOx and SO2 are measured by an
R-type thermocouple and TESTO 350-XL gas analyzer respectively. The oil of
soybean, sunflower, canola and corn are used in transesterification process
of biodiesel. The results show that maximum of temperature, NOx emission and
SO2 emission are achieved for the combustion of sunflower methyl ester and
corn methyl ester blends with gasoil in contrast with combustion of soybean
methyl ester and canola methyl ester blends with gasoil. Also the minimum of
CO emission is reached for combustion of these fuels.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
