Performance and emissions characteristics of alternative biodiesel fuel on 4-stroke marine diesel engine

Alternative fuels for diesel engines have become increasingly important due to several socioeconomic aspects, imminent depletion of fossil fuel and growing environmental concerns. Global warming concerns due to the production of greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as carbon dioxide (CO2) as results from in...

Global warming concerns due to the production of greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as carbon dioxide (CO2) as results from internal combustion engine have seen as one of major factor the promotion of the use of biofuels. Therefore, the use of biodiesel fuel (BDF) as an alternative for fossil diesel (DSL) is among the effective way to reduce the CO2 emission since it is classified as green and renewable energy.

As results of experimental investigations, the increment in performance of torque, brake power, brake thermal efficiency (BTE) and brake mean effective pressure (BMEP) while decrease in brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) has been observed for CPO and JCO fuels comparative to DSL.
