Combustion and Emissions Characteristics of Biodiesel Fuels

Biodistillate Transportation Fuels 2. – Emissions Impacts

Diesel vehicles are significant sources of NOx and PM emissions, and to a lesser extent, emissions of CO, HC, and toxic species. For many years, biodiesel fuel (and blends of biodiesel) has been promoted as a “clean fuel” alternative to conventional diesel. Based upon previous reviews by EPA, a common understanding has arisen that biodiesel usage reduces CO, HC, and PM emissions significantly, ...

Investigation of injection timing and different fuels on the diesel engine performance and emissions

Start of fuel injection and fuel type are two important factors affecting engine performance and exhaust emissions in internal combustion engines. In the present study, a one-dimensional computational fluid dynamics solution with GT-Power software is used to simulate a six-cylinder diesel engine to study the performance and exhaust emissions with different injection timing and alternative fuels...

Variation of Engine Performance and Emissions Using Biodiesel Fuels

There is considerable concern over the increasing demand on our limited supply fossil fuel and as a result initiatives are being considered to extend the use of such fossil fuels. In addition there is international concern regarding the associated pollution levels and it is these collective concerns that have increased the demand for alternative fuels to be used in internal combustion engines. ...
