Biodiesel is a recognized replacement for diesel fuel in compressed ignition engines due to its significant environmental benefits. The purpose of this study is to investigate the engine performance and emissions produced from Jatropha curcas, Ceiba pentandra and Calophyllum inophyllum biodiesel in compressed ignition engine. The biodiesel production process and properties are discussed and a c...

Biodiesel is obtained by the process of transesterification of vegetable oils and animal fats and crude glycerol is the main by-product of the biodiesel manufacturing chain. As a result glycerol production has rapidly increased in the last decades. This work focuses on the development and the validation of a process to convert biodiesel-derived glycerol into a fuel for internal combustion engin...

This paper describes a laboratory method for treatment of used engine oil FENIX SUPERIOR SAE 15W-40 with intention to decrease of sulfur and selected metal content at acceptable level. FENIX SUPERIOR SAE 15W-40, produced by manufacturer Joint Stock Company FAM Krusevac, is used for lubrication of the most modern four-stroke diesel and gas engines of passenger and commercial vehicles, engine con...

This paper represents the prospect of mustard oil as a renewable and alternative fuel. To cope up with present load-shedding situation and to reduce the dependency on imported fuel, Bangladesh government is encouraging the use of renewable energy sources. Since diesel engines have versatile uses including small irrigation pumping systems, and standby small electricity generators, use of diesel ...

The nitrogen oxides (NOx) are prominent and harmful pollutants in the exhaust of diesel engines. The reduction of NOx to harmless products using catalysts is proved to be a remedy. The present study attempts to reduce NOx emissions in the exhaust of low heat rejection (LHR) diesel engine by catalytic reduction, using lanthanum ion exchanged zeolite (catalyst-A) and urea infused lanthanum ion ex...

Natural gas-diesel dual fuel combustion is a beneficial strategy for achieving high efficient and low emissions operation in compression ignition engines, especially in genset application heavy duty diesel engine at rated power. This study aims to investigate a dual fuel engine performance and emissions using premixed natural gas and early direct injection of diesel fuel. Due to the different r...

Out of various no edible oil resources, jatropha curcas oil is considered as a promising alternate fuel for CI engines. The present study describes the process used for production of degummed jatropha oil (DGJO) and jatropha methyl ester (JBD) The important fuel properties of DGJO and JBD were determined and compared with fossil diesel and jatropha oil. The degumming and trans esterification pr...

Pioneer of the common rail fuel injection system The emissions regulations for diesel engines in applications such as ships, trains and heavyduty off-road vehicles and gensets worldwide are becoming more stringent and make extensive modifications to the power units necessary. At the same time, customers are constantly calling for more economical engines. Exhaust after treatment systems such as ...

Internal combustion engines have been a relatively inexpensive and reliable source of power for applications ranging from domestic use to large scale industrial and transportation applications for most of the twentieth century. DI Diesel engines, having the evident benefit of a higher thermal efficiency than all other engines, have served for both lightduty and heavy-duty vehicles. In DI diesel...

This paper presents a brief review on the current status of biodiesel production and its performance and emission characteristics as compression ignition engine fuel. This study is based on the reports on biodiesel fuel published in the current literature by different researchers. Biodiesel can be produced from crude vegetable oil, non-edible oil, waste frying oil, animal tallow and also from a...
