Energy Engineering: Biodiesel



INTRODUCTION
India imported about 2/3rd of its petroleum requirements last year, which involved a cost of approximately Rs. 80,000 crores in foreign exchange. Even 5% replacement of petroleum fuel by bio-fuels can help India save Rs.4000 crores per year in foreign exchange. It is utmost important that the options for substitution of petroleum fuels be explored to control this rapidly growing import bill. With the stock of fossi ....etc

TOPIC: Biodiesel production from waste chicken fat based sources and evaluation
with Mg based additive in a diesel engine
a b s t r a c t
In this study, chicken fat biodiesel with synthetic Mg additive was studied in a single-cylinder, direct injection (DI) diesel engine and its effects on engine performance and exhaust emissions were studied. A two-step catalytic process was chosen for the synthesis o ....etc

The effect of biodiesel and bioethanol blended diesel fuel on nanoparticles
and exhaust emissions from CRDI diesel engine


Introduction
Since diesel engines have higher thermal efficiency than gasoline
engines, they have an advantage in reducing global warming
and in using less fossil fuel. However, they emit more diesel PM
(particulate matter) than gasoline engines because of the relatively
low rate of utilization of air. The after-treatment of the diese ....etc

BIODIESEL IN DIESEL ENGINES:A CRITICAL ASSESSMENT
Biodiesel refers to a vegetable oil- or animal fat-based diesel fuel consisting of long-chain alkyl (methyl, propyl or ethyl) esters. Biodiesel is typically made by chemically reacting lipids (e.g., vegetable oil, animal fat) with an alcohol. Biodiesel production is a modern and technological area for researchers due to constant increase in the prices of petroleum diesel and environmental advantages.
The use of fatty acids methyl esters either in mixtures with fossi ....etc

Introduction
The consumption and demand for the petroleum products are increasing every year due to increase in population, standard of living and urbanization. Diesel consumption pattern in India has not varied much and is around 36x106 tonnes as reported by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (Table 1). The increase in crude oil import affects the country’s economy and its development. The diesel vehicles were banned in New Delhi for serious problem of air pollution due to higher emissions of polluted gases. The acid rain, gl ....etc

Biodiesel production from Jatropha caucus oil in a batch reactor using zinc oxide as catalyst



INTRODUCTION

Majority of the world energy needs are supplied through
petrochemical sources, coal, and natural gases, with the
exception of hydroelectricity and nuclear energy. Of all
these sources that are finite, the current usage rates will
be consumed shortly. Non-renewable energy sources
such as petroleum are related to several drawbacks
including; increas ....etc

INTRODUCTION:
The potential for Biodiesel availability is limited to roughly 2% of the current diesel fuel consumption. The present cost of Biodiesel is 2 to 3 times higher than diesel. Higher taxes on diesel fuel or tax incentives for Biodiesel, to eliminate this price differential, do not seem feasible at this time. Hence Biodiesel must find uses in markets where its positive attributes may support its higher cost and preferable in the form of lower level blends in diesel in ordered to minimize the incremental cost.
