“…In this case, emissions were directly sampled from the tail pipe of an operating vehicle into a system which analyses the exhaust and records the concentrations of the various emissions. [5] Everything from the data analyzer to storage is integrated into a PEMS unit. KANE250 Combustion Meter is used in this experiment.…”

Flat plate solar collector for water pre-heating using concentrated solar power (CSP) AIP Conference Proceedings 1919, 020021 (2017) Abstract. Biodiesel is a captivating renewable resource providing the potential to reduce particulate emissions in compressionignition engines. A comparative study is conducted to evaluate the effects of using biodiesel on exhaust emissions. Exhaust smokiness, noise and exhaust regulated gas emissions such as carbon di oxides, carbon monoxide and oxygen are measured. It is observed that methanol-biodiesel blends (mustard oil, palm oil) cause reduction of emissions remarkably. Most of the harmful pollutants in the exhaust are reduced significantly with the use of methanol blended fuels. Reduction in CO emission is more with mustard oil blend compared to palm oil blend. Comparatively clean smoke is observed with biodiesel than diesel. It is also observed that, there is a decrease of noise while performing with biodiesel blends which is around 78 dB whereas noise caused by diesel is 80 dB. Biodiesel, more importantly mustard oil is a clean burning fuel that does not contribute to the net increase of carbon dioxide.

“…First generation biodiesel is produced from edible food crops such as mustard oil [27,28], canola oil [29], sunflower oil etc. [30,31]. Second generation biodiesel is produced from non-edible feedstocks [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39].…”

The study investigated the engine performance and emission using biodiesel from soybean oil and waste cooking oil. The fuel properties of these biodiesels were determined using ASTM D6751and EN 14214 standards. The fuels were tested in a multi-cylinder diesel engine with an electromagnetic dynamometer and a 5-gas analyser was used for emission analysis. The result shows that the thermal performance of the engine slightly decreases with increase of the biodiesel blends ratio (i.e. B5, B10, B15, B20 and B50). On the other hand, emission decreases with the increase of biodiesel blends. The reduction in emissions was different for both biodiesels. Waste oil biodiesel showed better trends of emissions reduction with increase of the biodiesel percentage compared with soybean biodiesel. The brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) of both biodiesels is (6.05%, 9.13%, 12.36% and 18.57% for soybean) and (8.17%, 11.40%, 17.71% and 14.96% for waste cooking oil) higher than diesel, respectively. However, soybean biodiesel consumed less fuel and produced more power and torque compared to waste oil biodiesel. The study concluded that B10 soybean biodiesel blend produced more consistent and expected results than waste oil biodiesel from the performance and emission point of view.

“…3. A higher cetane number of microalgae biodiesel results in a better combustion thereby enabling CO emission decline (McCarthy et al, 2011). Similarly, reductions of 12%, 25%, 31% and 35% were achieved when using 5%, 20%, 70% and 100% biodiesel blends in a study done by Buyukkaya (2010), while in a prior study by our research group reported slight reductions in CO of approximately 0.34-1%, when using 2% microalgae biodiesel additions to diesel fuel .…”

The transport sector is a major consumer of fossil fuels especially petroleum diesel, which is used to power diesel engines used on-road and off-road in trucks, tractors, passenger cars as well as marine vessels. This is because the diesel engine offers various benefits compared to the spark ignition engine. The advantages include superior fuel efficiency, higher thermal efficiency, greater power output, better fuel saving, lower carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emission, larger torque and greater durability. Conversely, the diesel engine is a major source of both criteria and non-criteria air pollutants, which contribute to the deteriorating air quality thereby putting the health of mankind at risk. The objective of this study was to investigate the performance of butanol-microalgae biodiesel-diesel blends in terms of energy performances and pollutants' emission reductions by comparing the brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC), brake thermal efficiency (BTE) and exhaust gases temperatures as well as the nitrogen oxides (NO x ), particulate matter (PM), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons (HC) of various diesel blends and against the baseline performance of regular petroleum diesel. All diesel blends showed higher BSFCs and BTEs compared to regular petroleum diesel, whereby BT20W0.5 had the highest BSFC and BT15B2 had the best performance in terms of BTE. Among the diesel blends, only 2% microalgae added to diesel blends increased the NO x emissions by about 2%, while for the addition of 10-20% butanol fractions and 0.5% water fractions resulted in lower NO x emissions by about 12-28%, when compared to petroleum diesel. All the diesel blends considered in this study showed PM reductions ranging between 22.4% for B2 and 60.4% for BT15W0.5%, while reductions of PAH emissions were ranging from 6.5% for B2 to 22.76% for BT20W0.5. On the other hand, only the use of 2% microalgae biodiesel showed reductions in CO emissions of about 0.34% and 1.01% for B2 and BT20B2 blends, respectively, while other diesel blends showed increased CO emissions of about 1.72-2.94% in comparison to CO emissions of diesel fuel emissions. The addition of higher butanol fractions of 20% increased the HC emission factors by approximately 18% and 70%, while the HC emission factors for biodiesel, 10-15% butanol fractions and 0.5% water additions lead to reductions in emission by about 8-50%. According to the results of this study, more research is recommended on the economic potential of using of oxygenated additives in diesel engine especially water addition, higher alcohols and dieselhols blends to evaluate the possibility of synergetic properties of these kinds of fuels to achieve simultaneous reductions in the emissions of NO x , PM, CO, HC, PAHs and other persistent organic pollutants (POPs).
