Gradual depletion of world petroleum reserves and the impact of environmental pollution of increasing exhaust emissions lead to the search for a suitable alternative fuels for diesel engines. The substitution of conventional fuels (gasoline, diesel) by renewable biofuels is considered a potential way to reduce pollution and to support the sustainable development of a country. Direct use of vegetable oil and animal fat is a promising alternative to solve these problems. An exhaustive review of the experiments in this area, carried out by several researchers in last three decades, is presented here. Different problems associated with the direct use of vegetable oil and animal fat and potential solutions from both public and private sectors are discussed. Some engine manufacturers have started to launch full-warranty engines with vegetable oil as fuel. It is expected that the competitive engine market will witness more intense research, resulting in the launch of more vegetable-oil engines with full warranties. The steep rise in food prices in recent years is concerning policy-makers and has raised the old 'food vs fuel' debate. It has been concluded that vegetable oil can probably only substitute small to medium portions of petroleum-based fuel due to future severe land-usage competition from food sector. This calls for intense research initiatives into the production of suitable fuel from non-edible vegetable oil, grown in wasteland. In this regard, genetic engineering may prove to be extremely effective in developing 'designer fuel'.

“…This implies that if there is a system to pre-heat the biodiesel in the temperature-range of 320 to 330K, the density of Bio-diesel could be matched to the density of pure diesel. In the present study equation (23) has been developed to estimate the density of various biodiesel blends at a given temperature. For this purpose mixing equation (2) developed by Clements [10] and the regression equations (21) and (22) of this study have been used.…”

Biodiesel is a promising non-toxic and biodegradable alternative fuel used in the transport sector. Nevertheless, the higher viscosity and density of biodiesel poses some acute problems when it is used it in unmodified engine. Taking this into consideration, this study has been focused towards two objectives. The first objective is to identify the effect of temperature on density and viscosity for a variety of biodiesels and also to develop a correlation between density and viscosity for these biodiesels. The second objective is to investigate and quantify the effects of density and viscosity of the biodiesels and their blends on various components of the engine fuel supply system such as fuel pump, fuel filters and fuel injector. To achieve first objective density and viscosity of rapeseed oil biodiesel, corn oil biodiesel and waste oil biodiesel blends (0B, 5B, 10B, 20B, 50B, 75B, and 100B) were tested at different temperatures using EN ISO 3675:1998 and EN ISO 3104:1996 standards. For both density and viscosity new correlations were developed and compared with published literature. A new correlation between biodiesel density and biodiesel viscosity was also developed. The second objective was achieved by using analytical models showing the effects of density and viscosity on the performance of fuel supply system. These effects were quantified over a wide range of engine operating conditions. It can be seen that the higher density and viscosity of biodiesel have a significant impact on the performance of fuel pumps and fuel filters as well as on air-fuel mixing behaviour of compression ignition (CI) engine.

Castor oil is one of the most enormous potential environment-friendly lubricants, and used as the base oil and additives in industrial applications. In this paper, the rheological property of castor oil was investigated using the optical interferometric test rig to analyze its flow properties under the micro gap. These results indicated that the central film thickness of castor oil in the point contact zone underwent the initial increased and then stable variation with the entrainment speed at different temperatures. The temperature and entrainment speed played an important role on the lubrication state and oil shape variation along the transverse and entrainment direction. At low temperature, the contact zone was almost in the thin lubrication regime at low entrainment speed, but was in the elastohydrodynamic lubrication regime at high entrainment speed. The side leakage went through the initial increased then decreased trend with the temperature and entrainment speed. These research results would further develop the engineering application of castor oil.
