PRODUCTION OF CETANE IMPROVER FROM <i>Jathropa curcas</i> OIL

Optimization of NOx Emission from Soya Biodiesel Fuelled Diesel Engine using Cetane Improver (DTBP)

Within the depleting resources of fossil fuels and the increase in their price, in the recent past a lot of interest has been given to the use of plant oil specially the non-edible oil and its ester (biodiesel). Although the use of biodiesel in place of diesel has resulted in much lesser tail pipe emission, a substantial increase of NOx is reported by several researchers. It may be due to low c...

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...

Production of Oil from Plant Material.

Chemical Kinetics of Cetane Number Improving Agents

INTRODUCTION The increasing demand for diesel fuels has resulted in the use of greater percentage of cracked distillates having poor ignition properties. The ignition properties of diesel fuels can be rated in terms of their cetane number and diesel fuels having low cetane number may have poor ignition properties such as diesel knock, difficulties to start engines in the cold weather and so on....
