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

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

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

Abstract
The influence of the diesel particulate filter additives (DPA) SATACEN and EOLYS on biodiesel fuel quality has been evaluated. Both additives significantly affected the oxidation stability of neat biodiesel. The influence on acid values and CFPP was found to be only small. Combination of diesel additives with biodiesel additives like oxidation stability and CFPP improvers led to similar results. Results indicated that DPA also lowered the efficiency of the oxidation stability improver Baynox. Furthermore, the CFPP additives Chimec an ....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
