Importance of Energy Audit in Diesel Engine Fuelled with Biodiesel Blends: Review and Analysis

Abstract

Number of experiments have been performed on various performance and emission characteristics, effect of biodiesel blends on lubricity and input and output energy distribution in diesel engine fuelled with biodiesel blends. It is also reviewed that energy audit is used in buildings, plants, process and equipments and energy audit method was developed for fishing vessels based on similar systems for land based industries. In land based businesses, industries and households, energy audits are presently used to investigate the use of energy and to identify opportunities for the efficiency improvement and effectiveness in the energy use. Energy audits have been used in various sectors, industries and utilities. This paper is a review paper of energy audit and it is found that there is a vast scope for implementation of standardized energy audit in diese engines fuelled with biodiesel blends. Its objective is to find out a standard energy audit method for diesel engine fuelled with biodiesel blends which evaluate the feasibility of biodiesel blend as fuel and also harmonise the research of biodiesel as fuel.

Biofuel Certification Performance: A Review & Analysis

“…It is concluded that the following performance and emission characteristics of the diesel engine have been chosen as important parameters to evaluate diesel engine fuelled with diesel and biodiesel blends by energy audit at the primary level (Mohite & Maji, 2020).…”

“…Brake Specific Energy Consumption, Heat Flow Analysis, Friction Power, Smoke Emission have been found to have more influence and effect than other parameters. During primary stage of energy audit, Brake Specific Energy Consumption, Heat Flow Analysis, Friction Power, Smoke Emission have been preferred to compare results (Mohite & Maji, 2020).…”

Biofuel certification

“…It has been found that a biofuels certification method is needed in the biofuels industry to authenticate biodiesel and its blends for use in diesel engines [1]. A standard energy audit method is required to evaluate the feasibility of biodiesel blend as fuel and also harmonise the research of biodiesel as fuel [2].…”
