Multi response optimisation of engine parameters and development of predictive correlations for ignition delay and nox emissions of biodiesel

Abstract

Biodiesel derived from vegetable oils and animal fats is a newlinepromising substitute fuel for diesel since it is renewable and environment newlinefriendly The exploitation of new biomass resources and research in the newlineproduction of biofuels from nonfood biomass resources are also the key areas newlinefor developing bioenergy for the future Hence investigations were focussed newlineon nonedible vegetable oils as an alternative energy source for diesel newlineHowever the availability of nonedible vegetable oils studied is very limited newlineUnder these circumstances utilising a potential nonedible vegetable oil may newlinebe a more favourable solution newline newline
