Exhaust Emissions and Physicochemical Properties of n-Butanol/Diesel Blends with 2-Ethylhexyl Nitrate (EHN) or Hydrotreated Used Cooking Oil (HUCO) as Cetane Improvers

Biodegradation of 2-ethylhexyl nitrate (2-EHN) by Mycobacterium austroafricanum IFP 2173

19 2-Ethyhexyl nitrate (2-EHN) is a major additive of fuel which is used to comply with the 20 cetane number of diesel. Because of its wide use and possible accidental release, 2-EHN is a 21 potential pollutant of the environment. In this study, Mycobacterium austroafricanum IFP 22 2173 was selected among several strains as the best 2-EHN degrader. The 2-EHN 23 biodegradation rate was increased...

Cetane Number and Thermal Properties of Croton Oil , Biodiesel , 1 - Butanol , and Diesel Blends

Vegetable oil derived fuels for diesel engines are becoming important as alternative to petroleum diesel fuels due to their environmental friendliness and availability. Ignition quality in compression ignition (CI) engines is influenced by thermal characteristics and fuel properties. In this study, the effects of vegetable oil transesterification and vegetable oil-1-butanol-diesel blend on fuel...

Impact of Methanol–Gasoline Fuel Blends on the Performance and Exhaust Emissions of a SI Engine

Performance Study of Used Cooking Oil Bio Diesel Blends on Peugeot Engine

This paper presents performance study of Peugeot MM540 diesel engine using biodiesel prepared from used cooking oil. Transesterification process is followed to produce bio diesel and is blended with diesel in different proportion of 22:78 and 24:76 by volume and named as blend B22 and B24 respectively. Engine was run at different loads (0, 15, 30, 35, and 40kg) with constant speed of 1000rpm se...
