What is biodiesel ?
Why biodiesel?
Historical Perspective

The inventor of the diesel engine, Rudolf Diesel, in 1885, used vegetable oils (peanut oil).
The idea of chemically altering vegetable oils was noted even before World War II.
The European Commission proposed a 12 percent market share for biofuels by the year 2020 .

Vegetable Oil and Diesel Fuel: A
Comparison

Comparison of thermal efficiency vs. BMEP curves for
lower concentrations of biodiesel

Comparison of BSFC vs. BMEP curves for lower concentrations of biodiesel blend

Comparison of smoke opacity vs. BMEP curves for
lower concentrations of biodiesel blend


Improvement in peak thermal efficiency vs. concentration of biodiesel blend curve


Comparison of exhaust temperatures vs. BMEP curves for lower concentrations of biodiesel


Concentration of oxides of nitrogen vs. BMEP
