Production, characterization, engine performance and emission characteristics of Croton megalocarpus and Ceiba pentandra complementary blends in a single-cylinder diesel engine

Abstract

Potentiality and sustainability of two biodiesel feedstocks namelyCroton megalocarpusandCeiba pentandrahave been investigated. 20% (v/v) optimum combined blending of this two sources can substitute the fossil diesel.

Study of production optimization and effect of hydroxyl gas on a CI engine performance and emission fueled with biodiesel blends

“…i n t e r n a t i o n a l j o u r n a l o f h y d r o g e n e n e r g y x x x ( 2 0 1 6 ) 1 e1 0 transesterification process. One step transesterification process was followed as the acid value of the crude oil was 3.47 mgKOH/g which is less than 4 [19,20]. In transesterification process, crude palm oil was heated in a 2100 ml double jacked glass reactor at 65 C for 30 min for removing the moisture.…”

Impact of fatty acid composition and physicochemical properties of Jatropha and Alexandrian laurel biodiesel blends: An analysis of performance and emission characteristics

“…Biodiesel blending was also reported to significantly reduce hydrocarbon (HC) emission, though the amount of reduction reported varied from article to article Buyukkaya, 2010). Biodiesel created a comparatively smoother combustion and a higher evaporation rate, which resulted in reduced HC emission (Ruhul et al, 2016). High oxygen content also advanced the injection timing, which provided more time for HC to be oxidized .…”

Experimental exploration of hydrogen enrichment in a dual fuel CI engine with exhaust gas recirculation

“…[30]. This term is widely known as uncertainty which is a key indicator of the accuracy and validity of the experiment.…”
