Title: | A review on the engine performance and exhaust emission characteristics of diesel engines fueled with biodiesel blends | Authors: | Damanik, N. Ong, H.C. Tong, C.W. Mahlia, T.M.I. Silitonga, A.S. |
Issue Date: | 2018 | Abstract: | Biodiesels have gained much popularity because they are cleaner alternative fuels and they can be used directly in diesel engines without modifications. In this paper, a brief review of the key studies pertaining to the engine performance and exhaust emission characteristics of diesel engines fueled with biodiesel blends, exhaust aftertreatment systems, and low-temperature combustion technology is presented. In general, most biodiesel blends result in a significant decrease in carbon monoxide and total unburned hydrocarbon emissions. There is also a decrease in carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, and total unburned hydrocarbon emissions while the engine performance increases for diesel engines fueled with biodiesels blended with nano-additives. The development of automotive technologies, such as exhaust gas recirculation systems and low-temperature combustion technology, also improves the thermal efficiency of diesel engines and reduces nitrogen oxide and particulate matter emissions. © 2018, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature. | DOI: | 10.1007/s11356-018-2098-8 |
