This paper investigated the performance, combustion and emission characteristics of diesel engine fueled by biodiesel at partial load conditions. Experiments were conducted on a common-rail fuel injection diesel engine using ultra low sulfur diesel, biodiesel (B100) and their blend fuels of 10%,...

An experimental study was conducted on a Euro IV diesel engine to evaluate the performance, combustion and emission characteristics of pure biodiesel and its blend fuels. For each tested fuel, the performance and emissions were measured at four different engine speeds (800rpm, 1200rpm, 2400rpm...

In order to accurately simulate the fuel spray, atomization, combustion and emission formation processes of a diesel engine fueled with biodiesel, adequate knowledge of biodiesel’s physical properties is desired. The objective of this work is to do a detailed physical properties prediction for...

The motivation for the current work emanates from the conceptualization to improve the performance and emission characteristics of diesel engine fueled with biodiesel, by altering the fuel properties of it through the addition of additives. As such, 1,4-Dioxane, a multipurpose additive, has been...

This study numerically investigated knocking phenomenal of a RCCI (Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition) engine fuelled with biodiesel and methanol. A reduced biodiesel/methanol chemical reaction mechanism coupled with 3D-CFD model was developed and applied to capture local pressure and...

The present study aims to numerically investigate the impacts of ethanol blend ratio together with advanced fuel injection timings on biodiesel’s performance, combustion and emission characteristics. Simulations were conducted using coupled KIVA–CHEMKIN code for neat biodiesel and its blend...
