The use of waste cooking oil (WCO) as an alternative to diesel in engines has advantages
from both economic and environmental standpoints. Typical of vegetable oils, WCO has a …

The research into turning a vegetable oil into an alternative fuel has been underway for
some time [1-5]. Although some countries have begun to use some biomass as a fuel for the …

This work aims at evaluating the performance, emission and combustion of a diesel engine
fuelled with WCO (waste cooking oil obtained from palm oil) and its emulsion as fuel. A …

Increase in energy demand, stringent emission norms and depletion of oil resources have
led the researchers to find alternative fuels for internal combustion engines. On the other …

Biofuel has so far been backed by government policies in the quest for low carbon fuel in the
near future and promises to ensure energy security through partially replacing fossil fuels. At …

For a diesel engine, injection timing is a major parameter that sensitively a ects the engine
performance, emission and durability. The physical and chemical properties of vegetable …

Environmental degradation and depleting oil reserves are matters of great concern around
the globe. Developing countries like India depend heavily on oil import of about 125Mt per …

In this study, usage of methyl ester obtained from waste frying oil (WFO) is examined as an
experimental material. A reactor was designed and installed for production of methyl ester …

In recent years, significant emphasis has been placed on biodiesel as a renewable and
environmentally friendly fuel. However, biodiesel production costs are still higher than …

The concept that engine design is all important in the use of vegetable oils as a diesel fuel
has been pointed out by many researchers. One hundred percent of vegetable oil can be …
