Depending on the heat content and compression ignition (CI) engine combustion, biodiesel is a viable substitute fuel. Biodiesel an oxygenated, safe, sulfur-free, biodegradable, renewable It may be utilized in CI engines any combination with diesel fuel without requiring to significantly modified. Many research studies have been made several biodiesels as substitutes, including Pongamia pinnata, Jatropha curcas, Mangifera indica, Madhuca longifolia. The topic of current review potential fuels outperform terms performance, emission characteristics. In present study, are fueled from Man. Mad. longifolia, pongamia seed oil. Adopting low rejection (LHR) mode adding antioxidant agent addition blends resolve issue these biodiesels' poorer performance increased NO emission. Both additions provide positive approaches both

Exploring the Effects of Synergistic Combustion of Alcohols and Biodiesel on Combustion Performance and Emissions of Diesel Engines: A Review

Energies, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 17(24), P. 6274 - 6274

Published: Dec. 12, 2024

Diesel engines are extensively employed in transportation, agriculture, and industry due to their high thermal efficiency fuel economy. However, the combustion of conventional diesel is accompanied by substantial emissions pollutants, including carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), nitrogen oxides (NOx), dioxide (CO2), posing significant threats environmental quality. Biodiesel, as a renewable cleaner alternative fuel, can significantly reduce CO, HC, particulate matter (PM) its unique molecular structure. Nonetheless, lower calorific value poor cold-start performance limit application, while oxygen content may contribute increased NOx emissions. To address these limitations, researchers have proposed blending biodiesel with alcohol-based fuels such methanol, ethanol, or butanol create synergistic systems that optimize engine emission characteristics. This paper systematically reviews effects alcohol on characteristics blends engines. Studies indicate addition enhance improving atomization, extending ignition delay, increasing premixed efficiency. These enhancements result higher cylinder pressure, net heat release rate (HRR), brake (BTE), reducing brake-specific consumption (BSFC) some extent. Moreover, most studies report help smoke, but tend increase CO2 findings suggest certain cases, opposite results occur. The impact different types varies significantly, requiring comprehensive evaluation properties, latent heat, viscosity, content. Although appropriate demonstrates potential for optimizing emissions, excessive lead adverse effects, necessitating careful control ratio. Future research should consider mixing two more explore beyond capabilities single alcohols. Additionally, further focus compositions strategies varying operating conditions.
