Performance and Emission Analysis of Common Rail Diesel Engine with Microalgae Biodiesel

Modern common rail diesel engines are normally optimized with commercial diesel. As a result, the engine control unit’s calibration is established to achieve best compromise between performances and exhaust pollutants. Biodiesel has faster combustion rate higher chamber temperature than diesel, which necessitates injection of fuel volumes compensate for lower calorific value biodiesel compared regular This study showed that by adjusting mapping unit according utilised, it possible improve emissions performance running on pure Botryococcus braunii algae oil or blend
