In this study, blends of soybean oil ethyl ester (SOEE) and diesel fuel are tested as alternative fuel in a single cylinder, air cooled pre-combustion chamber diesel engine at different speeds and their effects on engine performance and emissions are analyzed. It is observed that the average moment obtained by 5% SOEE (B5) is 0.53% lower, the level of power obtained is 1.8% lower; however, specific fuel consumption is approximately 4.31% higher than those of diesel fuel. In the experiments conducted with 20% SOEE (B20), it is observed that the average moment is 1.74% lower, the level of power obtained is 5.91% lower; however, specific fuel consumption is approximately 10.94% higher than those of diesel fuel. Moreover, while a distinctive decrease is observed in CO emissions of fuel blends, NOx emissions are obtained very close to that of diesel fuel.

“…Following this, environmental agencies will tend to implement more stringent regulations to meet air quality standards forcing engine manufacturers to further reduce engine emissions. As biodiesel produces significantly less particulate matter Fontaras et al, 2009;Rahman et al, 2014) along with other economical and environmental advantages (Tinsdale et al, 2010;Kalligeros et al, 2003;Cheng et al, 2008); it may be the available option of the fuel industry in reducing PM emissions.…”

“…Numerous studies reported the decrease in some controlled emissions with the usage of biodiesel (Bagley et al, 1998;Kalligeros et al, 2003;Knothe et al, 2006;Rahman et al, 2014). It is also well established that biodiesel decreases black carbon emissions and increases the Soluble Organic Fraction (SOF) Sidhu et al, 2001).…”

Effect of atmospheric aging on volatility and reactive oxygen species of biodiesel exhaust nano-particles

Abstract. In the prospect of limited energy resources and climate change, effects of alternative biofuels on primary emissions are being extensively studied. Our two recent studies have shown that biodiesel fuel composition has a significant impact on primary particulate matter emissions. It was also shown that particulate matter caused by biodiesels was substantially different from the emissions due to petroleum diesel. Emissions appeared to have higher oxidative potential with the increase in oxygen content and decrease of carbon chain length and unsaturation levels of fuel molecules. Overall, both studies concluded that chemical composition of biodiesel is more important than its physical properties in controlling exhaust particle emissions. This suggests that the atmospheric aging processes, including secondary organic aerosol formation, of emissions from different fuels will be different as well. In this study, measurements were conducted on a modern common-rail diesel engine. To get more information on realistic properties of tested biodiesel particulate matter once they are released into the atmosphere, particulate matter was exposed to atmospheric oxidants, ozone and ultraviolet light; and the change in their properties was monitored for different biodiesel blends. Upon the exposure to oxidative agents, the chemical composition of the exhaust changes. It triggers the cascade of photochemical reactions resulting in the partitioning of semi-volatile compounds between the gas and particulate phase. In most of the cases, aging lead to the increase in volatility and oxidative potential, and the increment of change was mainly dependent on the chemical composition of fuels as the leading cause for the amount and the type of semi-volatile compounds present in the exhaust.

“…Data available in the literature on PM emissions from stationary engines, fueled with blends of ULSD and biodiesel, are relatively sparse. [28][29][30] Durbin et al 31 in their study of exhaust emissions from various on/off-road applications found inconsistencies in trends of PM and other exhaust emissions between on-road and stationary engines. They observed a significant reduction of PM emissions for different types of biodiesel in comparison to ULSD in heavy-duty vehicles, whereas stationary backup generators showed a slight reduction and sometimes even an increase in their PM emissions.…”

Stationary diesel engines, especially diesel generators, are increasingly being used in both developing countries and developed countries because of increased power demand. Emissions from such engines can have adverse effects on the environment and public health. In this study, particulate emissions from a domestic stationary diesel generator running on ultra-low-sulfur diesel (ULSD) and biodiesel derived from waste cooking oil were characterized for different load conditions. Results indicated a reduction in particulate matter (PM) mass and number emissions while switching diesel to biodiesel. With increase in engine load, it was observed that particle mass increased, although total particle counts decreased for all the fuels. The reduction in total number concentration at higher loads was, however, dependent on percentage of biodiesel in the dieselbiodiesel blend. For pure biodiesel (B100), the reduction in PM emissions for full load compared to idle mode was around 9%, whereas for ULSD the reduction was 26%. A large fraction of ultrafine particles (UFPs) was found in the emissions from biodiesel compared to ULSD. Nearly 90% of total particle concentration in biodiesel emissions comprised ultrafine particles. Particle peak diameter shifted from a smaller to a lower diameter with increase in biodiesel percentage in the fuel mixture.
