Engine performance and emissions characteristics of a diesel engine fueled with diesel-biodiesel-bioethanol emulsions

Tri-fuel (diesel-biodiesel-ethanol) emulsion characterization, stability and the corrosion effect

“…As evident from the figure, five minutes preparation tri-fuel emulsions were seeming to be inadequate to stabilize the composition against the effect of gravitational separation. Perhaps, considering the use of surfactant addition would not be a bad idea after all as demonstrated in the recent study by Tan et al [26] on engine performance and emissions test with trifuel emulsions. In other word, the result in this experiment is comparable to Tan et al [26].…”

Influence of Moringa oleifera biodiesel–diesel–hexanol and biodiesel–diesel–ethanol blends on compression ignition engine performance, combustion and emission characteristics

“…A homogeneous catalyst mixes into the reaction blend and allows an extreme interface with the catalyst and reactant molecules. Various homogeneous catalysts have been used in biodiesel production, such as NaOH, CH 3 ONa, KOH, and CH 3 OK as well as acid catalysts such as H 2 SO 4 , HCL, and HNO 3 , as observed by Elsanusi et al, 2 Mohammed Salaheldeen et al 4 and Tan et al 6 Although biodiesel has many advantages, it also has some disadvantages, such as its higher density and viscosity resulting in some problems during injection when used for a long period. Also, NO x emission is another major problem when using biodiesel in diesel engines.…”

Reduction of Metal Ion Content in Jatropha Biodiesel by Ion Exchange

“…On the other hand, the biodiesel has a high oxygen content, high cetane number, and no aromatic hydrocarbons and thus, the emission of toxic organic matter in diesel exhaust is only 10%, particulate matter is 20%, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide emissions are only 10%, and the waste gas emission indicator meets the European II and III emission standards . In a certain proportion, the biodiesel can be combined with petrochemical diesel aiming to reduce the fuel consumption, increase power, and reduce pollution by exhaust emissions . Because biodiesel has good biodegradability, it is easily decomposed by microorganisms in the environment…”
