The properties, performance, and exhaust emissions of a four-cylinder indirect injection diesel engine fueled by FAME from waste coconut oil was evaluated in this study. Polymerization and carbon deposits on fuel-injector nozzles were also monitored. Ordinary diesel (OD) oil was used as a benchmark for comparison purposes. Tests included measuring high heating value, kinematic viscosity, specific...
Biofuel has so far been backed by government policies in the quest for low carbon fuel in the near future and promises to ensure energy security through partially replacing fossil fuels. At present biodiesel is mostly produced by transesterification reaction from oil-seed feedstock and has to conform to ASTM D6751 specifications. Biodiesel sustainability has sparked debate on the pros and cons of...
This paper presents the results of experimental work carried out to evaluate the exhaust emissions characteristics of ordinary Malaysian coconut oil (COCO) blended with conventional diesel oil (OD) fueled in a diesel engine. This project complies with Malaysian Government strategy on biofuel research activity. The results showed that the addition of 30% COCO with OD produced higher brake power and...
