Effects of variation in biodiesel fuel properties on engine performance are not completely understood and there is a need for further research. The effects of altering the feedstock oil and alcohol type used in biodiesel production on engine performance (power, economy) and exhaust emissions...

Oxidation Stability is one of the most important properties of fatty acid alkyl esters (biodiesel fuel) and primarily affects the stability of biodiesel during extended storage. Degradation by oxidation yields products that may compromise fuel properties, impair fuel quality and engine...

Biodiesel chain length and degree of unsaturation impacts the NOx emissions in engines. This work presents experimental investigation of the effects of biodiesel chemical composition and molecular structure (numbers of double bonds and chain length) and other physical properties on NOx...
