The ignition delay is an important parameter which characterizes the initiation of combustion
process and consequently its development in Diesel engines. This parameter mainly …

This paper presents the results of engine tests of biodiesels obtained by transesterification of
palm oil and rapeseed oil and with fossil diesel fuel as a reference. The analysis is focused …

Biodiesels are gaining more importance as a promising alternative energy resource. Engine
performance and emission characteristics of unmodified biodiesel fueled diesel engines are …

Jatropha-curcas as a non-edible methyl ester biodiesel fuel source is used to run single
cylinder, variable compression ratio, and four-stroke diesel engine. Combustion …

Engine performance and emission comparisons were made between the use of soy, Canola
and yellow grease derived B100 biodiesel fuels and an ultra-low sulphur diesel fuel in the …

Overall ignition delay (ID over) recorded in Compression-Ignition engines (CIEs) is caused
by physical and chemical processes. Those processes lead to physical and chemical …

Biodiesel is one of the biodegradable and renewable fuels, which is originated from
vegetable oil or animal fats. Rapeseed biodiesel is a kind of biofuel which is gaining …

A simple correlation, which enables prediction of ignition delay of petroleum fuel and biofuel
when they are employed in compression ignition engine, is proposed in this study. An …

New diesel engine combustion concepts, such as the homogeneous charge compression
ignition (HCCI), have encouraged the development of ignition delay correlations allowing …

This article describes the study of combustion behavior in a production diesel engine using
either 100% biodiesel or 100% petroleum diesel. Biodiesel remains a topic of interest, with …
