Modeling of Waste Vegetable Oil Biodiesel for Tractor Engine Utilization

Abstract

Biodiesel is regarded as a clean fuel alternative to fossil diesel fuel for fewer pollutant emissions of internal combustion engines. The biodiesel type can be made from waste frying oil, thus it has to be done right. Waste vegetable oil can be provided for free or at a low cost by restaurants and food processors that often use frying oils. Animal fat is also available for free or for a nominal fee from grocery stores, restaurants, and butchers who use lots of fats in their cooking. The methyl ester of oleic acid methyl ester (OAME) biodiesel was produced from used vegetable oil using the transesterification process in order to compare the performance of the 67 kW KUBOTA tractor diesel engine when utilizing OAME and fossil diesel. OAME biofuel was used without being mixed. The engine's reliability metrics and important indicators, including the brake torque, indicated power, brake-specific fuel consumption (BSFC) and burn duration, were identified. Optimal implementation was met by fossil diesel and the tested characteristics were very close. The OAME biofuel performs better in terms of volumetric efficiency and duration of combustion than the conventional diesel. The decision to choose a specific biofuel that is produced from a particular source so largely hinges on its availability and economic feasibility wherever it is used.

Laboratory Tests of Electrical Parameters of the Start-Up Process of Single-Cylinder Diesel Engines

“…As stated by Szyszlak-Bargłowicz et al [38], the combustion of FAME rapeseed oil methyl esters resulted in a reduction in PM content in exhaust gases by an average of 40-60% for engine speeds in the full-load range compared to that from the combustion of diesel oil. We can say that biodiesel for use in diesel engines has become a substitute for diesel oil [39]. Furthermore, Dittrich et al [40] studied the fuel control system when an engine uses LPG-diesel dual fuel with different LPG proportions.…”
