Book Description

This book focuses on biodiesel combustion, including biodiesel performance, emissions and control. It brings together a range of international research in combustion studies in order to offer a comprehensive resource for researchers, students and academics alike. The book begins with an introduction to biodiesel combustion, followed by a discussion of NOx formation routes. It then addresses biodiesel production processes and oil feedstocks in detail, discusses the physiochemical properties of biodiesel, and explores the benefits and drawbacks of these properties. Factors influencing the formation of emissions, including NOx emissions, are also dealt with thoroughly. Lastly, the book discusses the mechanisms of pollution and different approaches used to reduce pollutants in connection with biodiesel. Each approach is considered in detail, and diagrams are provided to illustrate the points in line with industry standard control mechanisms.

Book Description

Vegetable oils are green promising alternative fuels for diesel engines such as jatropha oil. When they are used in diesel engines, higher viscosity and lower volatility of vegetable oils causes problems in spray penetration, atomization and mixture formation. Blends of biodiesel and diesel oil by volume (B5, B20, B40, B70 and B100) are burned. We produced biodiesel with standard chemical and physical properties. A new biodiesel engine should be designed to burn biodiesel blends up to B100 according to biodiesel thermodynamic cycle is needed. Conventional diesel engines are not suitable to burn biodiesel efficiently. Combustion and characteristics of biodiesel and preheated oil are extensively furnished. Burning biodiesel reduces emissions of CO, CO2 and HC. Suggested biodiesel engine should be designed to reduce NOx. This book can be useful for engineers, researchers, technologists seeking biodiesel production, environmental scientists, and car manufacturers.

Book Description

In today’s global context, there has been extensive research conducted in reducing harmful emissions to conserve and protect our environment. In the automobile and power generation industries, diesel engines are being utilized due to their high level of performance and fuel economy. However, these engines are producing harmful pollutants that contribute to several global threats including greenhouse gases and ozone layer depletion. Professionals have begun developing techniques to improve the performance and reduce emissions of diesel engines, but significant research is lacking in this area. Recent Technologies for Enhancing Performance and Reducing Emissions in Diesel Engines is a pivotal reference source that provides vital research on technical and environmental enhancements to the emission and combustion characteristics of diesel engines. While highlighting topics such as biodiesel emulsions, nanoparticle additives, and mathematical modeling, this publication explores the potential additives that have been incorporated into the performance of diesel engines in order to positively affect the environment. This book is ideally designed for chemical and electrical engineers, developers, researchers, power generation professionals, mechanical practitioners, scholars, ecologists, scientists, graduate students, and academicians seeking current research on modern innovations in fuel processing and environmental pollution control.
