A Review on Performance and Emission Characteristics of Diesel Engine Fueled With Biodiesel

Mahesh Chand Saini, Omprakash Gurjar

Abstract


With increasing energy demands in the transport sectors and power generation together with the limited availability of fossil fuels and the adverse environmental effects causing from their use attracts a lot off researchers towards finding alternative fuels to successively substitute conventional fuels. Among the alternative fuels, biodiesel has received great attention due to their attractive characteristics of being renewable in nature. A lot of research has been done on performance and emission characteristics of the diesel engine fueled with biodiesel. In this paper a review report is presented on biodiesel engine performances and emissions on the basis of the research papers which are published by highly rated scientific indexes journals. From these reports, the effect of biodiesel on engine power, durability, economy and emissions, including regulated and non-regulated emissions and the corresponding effect factors are analyzed and surveyed with deep attention. The use of biodiesel leads to the accountable reduction in HC and CO emissions accompanying with the insignificant power loss, the increase in fuel consumption and the increase in NOx emission on conventional diesel engines with no or minor modification.
