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
2
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.
