Catalytic synthesis of biodiesel fuel under sub/supercritical conditions: kinetics and phase behavior
… order model. However, thermal degradation of biodiesel fuel was found especially at temperatures higher than 325 oC. A thorough study on biodiesel thermal degradation clearly proves that the degradation at temperatures above 325 oC decreased the biodiesel quality, which suggests future …

Performance and emissions characteristics of alternative biodiesel fuel on 4-stroke marine diesel engine
Alternative fuels for diesel engines have become increasingly important due to several socioeconomic aspects, imminent depletion of fossil fuel and growing environmental concerns. Global warming concerns due to the production of greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as carbon dioxide (CO2) as results from …

Effect of start injection toward combustion, performances and emision characteristic of B20 biodiesel fuel
The utilization of the palm oil-based fuel in biodiesel fuel as alternative fuel for diesel engine has been implemented in Malaysia. However, the utilization of biodiesel is problematic because the low output power is due to incomplete combustion and incorrect vaporization characteristic. In this …

Numerical Analysis of Biodiesel Combustion in a Direct Injection Compression Ignition Engine
… was focused on creating a combustion model for biodiesel. The fourth and final phase was to test the biodiesel combustion model in the pertinent combustion regimes. The agreement with common trends in emissions of biodiesel combustion models were only verified in a few cases. Negative changes in …

Selection of Prediction Methods for Thermophysical Properties for Process Modeling and Product Design of Biodiesel Manufacturing
To optimize biodiesel manufacturing, many reported studies have built simulation models to quantify the relationship between operating conditions and process performance. For mass and energy balance simulations, it is essential to know the four fundamental thermophysical properties of the feed oil: …
