...Okpara Sergeant Bull; Godwin Augustine Udourioh; Alexander I. Ikeuba Purpose This study aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the potential of ionic liquids (ILs) as green alternatives to conventional catalysts and solvents in biodiesel production. It highlights the need for sustainable...

...Aaryan Chib; Navdeep Sharma Dugala Purpose Biodiesel in engines can reduce net carbon dioxide emissions and boost renewable energy. Despite the benefits of biodiesel engines, little is known about their effects on fuel filters. Filterability hinders the broad use of sustainable biodiesel...

..., the ANN is also ranked for precision. The proposed ANN model provides better prediction with minimum experimental data sets. The values of the R² correlation coefficient are 1, 0.95552, 0.94367 and 0.97789 for training, validation, testing and all, respectively. The said biodiesel may...

...Aditya Kolakoti Purpose This study aims to improve the performance and to regulate the harmful emission from the diesel engine. For this purpose, palm oil biodiesel (POBD), waste cooking biodiesel (WCBD) and animal fat biodiesel (AFBD) are used for examination. Design/methodology/approach...

...Senthur N.S.; Ravikumar T.S. Purpose This paper aims to compare the performance, emission and combustion characteristics of E20 biodiesel with diesel-water emulsion and eucalyptus water emulsion. Design/methodology/approach This research expounds the trans-esterification process apparently...

...Danar Susilo Wijayanto; Nugroho Agung Pambudi; Yusuf Wijaya; Ngatou Rohman; Husin Bugis Purpose The purpose of this paper is to experimentally investigate the effect of biodiesel fuel blending and heating on engine torque and power. Design/methodology/approach To obtain torque and power data...

... of biodiesel from algae, the growth rate of algae has to be enhanced. Design/methodology/approach Some design modification through a staggered spiral-path inside the bubble column design had been proposed and comparative simulation of the modified design has been reported. Three-dimensional simulations...

... as their properties are close to diesel. This work aimed to produce a fuel by adding different proportions of de-oiled neem cake with diesel and to conduct experiments to find out its performance, emission and combustion characteristics. Design/methodology/approach At present, biodiesel is commercially produced...

...Ganesh Babu Katam; Veeresh Babu A.; Madhu Murthy K.; Ganesh S. Warkhade Purpose This study aims to find a new alternate source for biodiesel conversion. The alternate source must be easily available, and it should give more oil yield than available edible, inedible sources. To meet the fuel demand...
