Computational Modeling of Nitrogen Oxide Emissions From Biodiesel Combustion Based on Accurate Fuel Properties

Abstract

dc:description

Computational modeling was applied to evaluate strategies for reducing NOx emissions from biodiesel combustion. The results indicated that increasing spray cone angle, retarding start of injection, applying exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and charge air cooling were all effective in reducing NOx emissions from biodiesel.
