Improved thermal efficiency, reduction in fuel consumption and pollutant emissions from biodiesel fueled diesel engines are important issues in engine research. To achieve these, rapid and perfect air-fuel mixing are the most important requirements. The mixing quality of biodiesel spray with air...

In this experimental study, the influences of re-entrant combustion chamber geometry on a diesel engine emission, performance and on the combustion were investigated using Pongamia Oil Methyl Ester (POME). For this purpose, the pistons with Toroidal Re-entrant Combustion Chamber (TRCC) and...

The rapid depletion of fossil fuels and environmental concerns make alternative fuels such as biodiesel more attractive. Biodiesel has properties comparable to ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD), however certain properties of biodiesel such as viscosity, calorific value, density and volatility...
