Combustion performance and emission characteristics study of pine oil in a diesel engine

Vallinayagam, R.; Vedharaj, S.; Yang, W.M.; Lee, P.S.; … - In: Energy 57 (2013) C, pp. 344-351

A new type of biofuel, pine oil, is introduced in this work for the purpose of fueling diesel engine. The viscosity, boiling point and flash point of the reported oil are lower, when compared to that of diesel. Also, the calorific value of pine oil biofuel is comparable to diesel. As a result,...

The current status and perspectives of biofuel production via catalytic cracking of edible and non-edible oils

Ong, Yee Kang; Bhatia, Subhash - In: Energy 35 (2010) 1, pp. 111-119

Biofuel development has gained the attention of researchers in recent years owing to the rate of depletion of fossil fuels. Several processes are currently employed in the conventional production of different biofuels: the production of biodiesel is catalytically performed either through the...

Progress in detailed kinetic modeling of the combustion of oxygenated components of biofuels

Tran, Luc Sy; Sirjean, Baptiste; Glaude, Pierre-Alexandre; … - In: Energy 43 (2012) 1, pp. 4-18

Due to growing environmental concerns and diminishing petroleum reserves, a wide range of oxygenated species has been proposed as possible substitutes to fossil fuels: alcohols, methyl esters, acyclic and cyclic ethers. After a short review the major detailed kinetic models already proposed in...

Supply network synthesis on rubber seed oil utilisation as potential biofuel feedstock

Ng, Wendy Pei Qin; Lam, Hon Loong; Yusup, Suzana - In: Energy 55 (2013) C, pp. 82-88

This paper describes the synthesis of a rubber seed supply network to support the green energy demand in Malaysia. An optimised rubber seed supply network design, which maximises biomass utilisation, secures local biomass supply as well as reduces material loss and emissions resulted from...

Exhaust emissions from a light-duty diesel engine with Jatropha biodiesel fuel

Tan, Pi-qiang; Hu, Zhi-yuan; Lou, Di-ming; Li, Zhi-jun - In: Energy 39 (2012) 1, pp. 356-362

In this study, regulated and unregulated exhaust emissions with petroleum diesel fuel and Jatropha-based biodiesel blends at proportions of 5%, 10%, 20%, 50% and 100% (v/v) have been investigated. This study examines four regulated emissions: nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide, unburned hydrocarbon...

Combustion of algae oil methyl ester in an indirect injection diesel engine

Haik, Yousef; Selim, Mohamed Y.E.; Abdulrehman, Tahir - In: Energy 36 (2011) 3, pp. 1827-1835

An experimental study has been carried to use raw Algae oil and its methyl esters in an indirect injection diesel engine. Effects of engine speed, engine load output, injection timing of the algae biofuel and engine compression ratio on the engine output torque, combustion noise (maximum...

Simultaneous microwave extraction and synthesis of fatty acid methyl ester from the oleaginous yeast Rhodotorula glutinis

Chuck, Christopher J.; Lou-Hing, Daniel; Dean, Rebecca; … - In: Energy 69 (2014) C, pp. 446-454

Microbial lipids have the potential to substantially reduce the use of liquid fossil fuels, though one obstacle is the energy costs associated with the extraction and subsequent conversion into a biofuel. Here we report a one-step method to produce FAME (fatty acid methyl esters) from...
