Biodiesel

Biodiesel is an alternative diesel fuel for diesel engines that is made from renewable biological sources like vegetable oils, animal fats, and microalgae. Since its main feedstock is a vegetable oil or animal fat, biodiesel is generally considered to be renewable. There are four primary ways known to make biodiesel – (1) direct use and blending, (2) microemulsions, (3) thermal cracking and (4) transesterification. Although the main use is the transesterification of vegetable oils and animal fats, all four ways are going to be discussed through the research. Even though hundred years ago, Rudolf Diesel tested vegetable oil as fuel for his engine, with the presence of cheap petroleum, petroleum fractions were the fuel that took the market. By…

The present work is aimed at the improvement of performance, combustion and emission characteristics of a rice bran biodiesel-biogas run dual fuel diesel engine through adjustment of compression ratio (CR), and injection timing (IT) of pilot fuel. For experimentation, a single cylinder, direct injection, variable compression ratio diesel engine is converted into a dual fuel diesel engine by connecting a venturi gas mixer at the inlet manifold. A set of combinations comprising of CRs of 17, 17.5…

Should the Racing Industry Be Forced To Use Biofuels? You may wonder if the racing industry should be forced to use biofuels. The racing industry is mostly for fun and sport right? Well all that fun is hurting our environment. Biofuels can help that issue. Using gas as fuel causes more air pollution and rids us of our oil which could be used for more necessary occasions and products. Yes, racing could be fun to watch or experience. But, do you really want the guilt of knowing your damaging…

Biofuels are organic chemicals that can be used as an environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels which are known to produce greenhouse emissions. Corn sugar is used in the production of these biofuels, the most prevalent of which is ethanol (Ethanol Biofuel). Although ethanol shows great potential as a fossil fuel alternative, there isn’t enough corn sugar around to produce ethanol for all machinery. Also, too much fossil fuel is involved in its production to provide any significant…

The foreseeable future highlights various alternative sources of energy with potential to reduce emissions and supplant heavy fuel oil (HFO) in two-stroke diesel engines. The possible alternatives are liquefied natural gas (LNG), hydrogen, biogas and biofuels such as straight vegetable oil and biodiesel. Straight vegetable oils are promising and an appropriate alternative due to being safe with a higher flash point than diesel, offering a smaller carbon footprint and do not require significant…

development of biodiesel The name biodiesel refers to the fuel that comes from biological sources and is mainly to be applied in diesel engines. The National Biodiesel Board (NBB) defines biodiesel as “a domestic, renewable fuel for diesel engines derived from nature oils”. As a matter of fact, biodiesel is so called not only because of biologically derivation as waste raw materials are also commonly used in production (Sunggyu Lee 2012). Compared with massive GHG emissions of CO2, SOx, NOx,…

Science Research Paper The Effectiveness OF Bioswales Written By Jake Davis Do you know what a bioswale is? Well I’m sure most of you don't. Bioswales are actually unsung heroes. They do many things that make a difference in our society. They make sure excess runoff water does not affect our houses and can even be better than concrete drainage systems. There are many different things about a bioswale that defines it, such as what is made of, the great environmental benefits. I…

Diesel Mechanic The history of the diesel mechanic started when the diesel engine being manufactured in the 19th century. The engine was created in 1892 by rudolph diesel. In 2014 263,900 people are counted as being employed in this career field and as times are changing there is a need for more mechanics. Some trends inside of this job are diesel performance, which is building engines to large amounts of horsepower for regular driving towing or racing. To find jobs related to this career check…

Biodiesel is considered to be a renewable clean burning diesel replacement that is reducing the United States dependence on imported diesel. This alternative fuel is creating jobs and improving the environment also. (www.biofuels,org, 2015) Biodiesel is made from a diverse mix of feed stocks, including recycled oil, soybean oil and animal fats. It is the first and only EPA designated advanced biofuel in on a commercial scale production across the country. Biodiesel had to pass strict…
