Combustion efficiency, engine performance and toxic gas emissions linked to blends of petro-diesel

and biodiesel

nterest in biodiesel as a fuel additive has grown considerably

and has become an essential part of global sustainable

development. The physical and chemical properties of

biodiesel affect combustion processes and can improve engine

performance. Differences in biodiesel properties could lead to

a distinction in fuel injection, fuel combustion, performance

and emission features of the diesel engine. Certain features of

engine emissions such as smoke opacity and noxious gases, CO,

NOx and SO

can be appreciably reduced by the use of specific

blended mixtures of biodiesel and petro-diesel. In addition

particular physical properties such as biofuel density, viscosity

and bulk modulus are associated with engine performance and

gaseous emissions. Extensive research has been undertaken

on the production of biodiesels from a variety of feedstock

and the characteristics of biodiesels on engine performances

and emissions have gained widespread attention and are the

subject of this talk.
