An experimental study was conducted to evaluate the suitability of biodiesel for on-road usage based on the engine-out responses of a light-duty diesel engine. Palm methyl ester (PME) was the biodiesel fuel used in this study. The experimental programme was conducted in two separate phases. In...

This paper reports an artificial neural networks (ANN) modelling programme for a light-duty diesel engine powered using blends of various biodiesel fuels with conventional fossil diesel. ANN was used here to predict nine different engine-out responses, namely carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide...

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) study of light-duty automotive diesel engines affords invaluable insights into in-cylinder conditions and processes, which greatly expands on the very limited detail provided by engine-out measurements of exhaust emissions. For the simulation to be successful,...
