Performance of a Compression-Ignition Engine Fueled with Diesel/Biodiesel Blends

Article Preview

Abstract:

The performance of engine fueled with diesel/biodiesel blends was tested. It was indicated from the experimental results that the brake power, torque out and brake specific fuel consumption of engine fueled with diesel/biodiesel caused slight variations, while NOx emission increased significantly compared with engine fueled with diesel. In order to reduce NOx emission of engine fueled with pure biodiesel, retarding fuel delivery advance angle was used, and the NOx emission tests revealed that the NOx emission decreased significantly at different engine speeds.
