“…The BSFC is 8.17%, 11.40%, 17.71% and 14.96% higher for B5, B10, B20 and B50 compared with fossil diesel, respectively. It has been reported that BSFC increases with the increase of biodiesel blends [58]. So, the experimental results are acceptable according to the literature [59,60].…”

“…Figure 8 illustrates NOx emission by combustion of biodiesels in CI engines under the ISO 8178 test procedure. These is evidence from previous studies that NOx emission is one of the most important problems with the combustion of biodiesel in CI engines [58]. From the graph, it is clearly seen that biodiesels have a positive impact on NOx emission compared with diesel fuel.…”

The study investigated the engine performance and emission using biodiesel from soybean oil and waste cooking oil. The fuel properties of these biodiesels were determined using ASTM D6751and EN 14214 standards. The fuels were tested in a multi-cylinder diesel engine with an electromagnetic dynamometer and a 5-gas analyser was used for emission analysis. The result shows that the thermal performance of the engine slightly decreases with increase of the biodiesel blends ratio (i.e. B5, B10, B15, B20 and B50). On the other hand, emission decreases with the increase of biodiesel blends. The reduction in emissions was different for both biodiesels. Waste oil biodiesel showed better trends of emissions reduction with increase of the biodiesel percentage compared with soybean biodiesel. The brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) of both biodiesels is (6.05%, 9.13%, 12.36% and 18.57% for soybean) and (8.17%, 11.40%, 17.71% and 14.96% for waste cooking oil) higher than diesel, respectively. However, soybean biodiesel consumed less fuel and produced more power and torque compared to waste oil biodiesel. The study concluded that B10 soybean biodiesel blend produced more consistent and expected results than waste oil biodiesel from the performance and emission point of view.

“…Researchers also report the optimization of the transesterification conditions of the moringa oil and the behavior of the biodieselblended with diesel in engines [6,7]. Since moringa oil is non-edible and quite stable, the production of biodiesel using can be favored and this fact can be verified by the presence in the literature of several papers relating its behavior in diesel engines [7][8][9][10].…”

This research reports the use of cooking oil waste and moringa biodiesel and their blends into mineral diesel and the influence of the storage conditions. The behavior of the blend between moringa and cooking oil waste and biodiesel were evaluated through thermogravimetric analysis and the data were used in the determination of the kinetic parameters of the blends as activation energy and pre-exponential factor and the values found were similar to reported in literature for others samples of biodiesel. The quality of the blend between biodiesel and diesel and the influence of storage conditions were evaluated through the determination of the acid value of the samples. The acid value for the samples that contained mineral diesel was virtually constant. The acid values of the samples of biodiesel were not in accordance with Brazilian legislation, but did not affect the quality of the blend with mineral diesel. The average values of activation energy for waste cooking oil and moringa biodiesel were 70.04 ± 2.99 and 53.80 ± 6.83 kJ mol -1 , respectively.

“…The experimental work with Annona methyl ester blends at different fuel IT showed 6.4% higher brake thermal efficiency (BTE) at 33° bTDC and 11.9% lower fuel consumption compared to original IT 27° bTDC (Senthil et al, 2016). Experimental work on multi cylinder CI engine run on Moringa Oleifera BDF B10 and B20 with speeds ranging from 1000-4000 rpm at full load conditions revealed that the BP was lower and BSFC was higher for both B10 and B20 BDF compared to diesel due to increase in frictional losses and increase in time for heat transfer to the cylinder wall at all speeds tested (Mofijur et al, 2014). The tests to investigate the performance, emission and heat release rate (HRR) of karanja BDF and its blends powered CI engine showed similar BTE for all the blends at higher loads.…”

The compression ignition (CI) engines are most efficient and robust but they rely on depleting fossil fuel. Hence there is a speedy need to use alternative fuels that replaces diesel and at the same time engine should yield better performance. Accordingly, honge oil methyl ester (BHO) and cotton seed oil methyl ester (BCO) were selected as an alternative fuel to power CI engine in the study. In the first part, this paper aims to evaluate best fuel injection timing (IT) and injector opening pressure (IOP) for the biodiesel fuels (BDF). The combustion chamber (CC) used for the study is toriodal re-entrant (TRCC). The experimental tests showed that BHO and BCO yielded overall better performance at IT of 19° before top dead centre (bTDC) and IOP of 240 bar. In the second part, the effect of number of holes on the performance of BDF powered CI engine was studied keeping optimized IT and IOP. The six-hole injector with 0.2 mm injector orifice diameter yielded better performance compared to other injectors of different holes and size tested.
