A Review of Ignition Delay and Combustion Characteristics of Biodiesel Fueled Diesel Engine

Abstract:

Increasing rate of demanding biodiesel as alternative energy resource, persuade researchers to investigate engine performance of biodiesel-fueled engines, which are highly influenced by ignition delay (ID) and combustion characteristics of such a fuel. This review article introduces a literature review on ignition delay (ID) and combustion characteristics of diesel engine fueled with biodiesel. Slightly difference between combustion characteristics of bio fueled engine and petroleum diesel one recognized as result of carried out investigations. Early start of combustion (SOC) and shorter ID of biodiesel comparing to diesel is reported by most of investigations. Lower compressibility, higher Cetane Number (CN) and fatty acid composition of biodiesel have been recognized as the principle elements of early SOC and shorter ID. It is also revealed that heat release rate (HRR) of biodiesel comparing to diesel is slightly lower because of lower calorific value, shorter ID and higher viscosity.
