Effects Of Engine Variables And Heat Transfer On The Performance Of Biodiesel Fueled Ic Engines
Effects Of Engine Variables And Heat Transfer On The Performance Of Biodiesel Fueled Ic Engines
Faculty of Engineering University of Malaya
These days internal combustion engines are the major source of transportation. They run mainly on fossil fuels which are depleting day by day not only that they cause pollution which endangers human life and creates environmental problems. Of late biodiesel has emerged as a better alternative fuel for internal combustion engines due to its comparable properties with that of fossil fuels. Today's automobiles require economy of operation, high power output and last but not the least, reduction in greenhouse gases emitted by the vehicles. Such specific demands have compelled the researchers not only to focus on the parameters affecting the …
Influence Of Biodiesel Blending On Physicochemical Properties And Importance Of Mathematical Model For Predicting The Properties Of Biodiesel Blend
Faculty of Engineering University of Malaya
The growing demand for green world serves as one of the most significant challenges of modernization. Requirements like largest usage of energy for modern society as well as demand for friendly milieu create a deep concern in field of research. Biofuels are placed at the peak of the research arena for their underlying benefits as mentioned by multiple researches. Out of a number of vegetable oils, only a few are used commercially for biodiesel production. Due to various limitations of edible oil, non-edible oils are becoming a profitable choice. Till today, very little percentage of biodiesel is used successfully in …
Comparative Evaluation Of The Blends Of Gas-To-Liquid (Gtl) Fuels And Biodiesels With Diesel At High Idling Conditions: An In-Depth Analysis On Engine Performance And Environment Pollutants
Faculty of Engineering University of Malaya
This study focuses on the physicochemical fuel characteristics and engine performance-emission features of three prospective alternative transportation fuels: Alexandrian laurel biodiesel (ALBD), jatropha biodiesel (JBD) and GTL fuel at high idling conditions. The blends of GTL fuel (G10, G20), JBD (J10, J20) and ALBD (AL10, AL20) with diesel had been investigated in a multi-cylinder diesel engine at different load-speed conditions. Analysis of the fuel properties showed a linear variation of the major fuel properties with an increase of alternative fuel quantity in the blends. Engine performance test results revealed an average decrease of brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) (ca. 8.65-12.26%) …
