The objective of the present study is to examine and compare the performance and emission characteristic of two biodiesel fuels produced from rapeseed oil via transesterification method.Tested biodiesel fuels(ROME(Rap...
The enhancement of the physicochemical characteristics of fossil fuel has been the subject of extensive research to achieve better efficiency and reduced emissions. Diesel is one of the fossil fuels that are highly co...
Biodiesel derived from indigenous feed stocks such as Tylosema esculentum kernel oil is deemed a feasible alternative to petroleum diesel for the diesel engine. This paper presents results of investigation of performa...
The authors studied diesel combustion improvement with a reformed fuel that mixed nano air-bubbles by using an EMNB (ejector-type micro-nano bubbler). The EMNB performs adequately and is smaller (20 mm diameter, 34...
Methyl or ethyl esters of vegetable oils are the reliable alternative fuels for the petroleum diesel, because their properties are very nearer to the petroleum diesel. But the flash point and auto-ignition temperature...
The present work studied fuel consumption through experiments on a diesel engine. In order to obtain lower BSFC (brake specific fuel consumption), DME (dimethyl ether) is heated and introduced into air intake, tog...
