Study of Emission of a Mono Cylindrical Diesel Engine Fueled with Biodiesel of Palm Oil

Abstract:

The demand of petroleum fuels which affect the air quality requires the use of alternative fuels to decrease the harmful emissions. In all the countries of European Union the biofuel production is stimulated and is a prime political and economic goal. The aim of this research is to evaluate the possibility to use biodiesel of palm oil in diesel engines with special emphasis on CO, CO₂, HC and O₂ emissions. Various blends of diesel and biodiesel of palm oil were mixed and evaluated on an experimental engine stand developed in the laboratory.
