Optimization of Fuel Injection Parameters in LHR Engines Using Fish Oil Methyl Ester Blends for Enhanced Performance and Emission Reduction
Abstract: The need for alternative fuels has become increasingly critical due to the depletion of petroleum resources, growing automobile usage, and environmental concerns. Fish oil methyl ester, derived from fish oil, presents a promising alternative biodiesel, which can be produced from both edible and non-edible oils as well as animal fats. Diesel engines are valued for their efficiency, reliability, and durability, with performance and emissions being influenced significantly by factors such …

Microalgae: Promising Sources of Biofuels
Abstract: Single-celled photosynthetic organisms known as microalgae have drawn a lot of interest as a potential source for the synthesis of biofuel. These microscopic organisms are able to effectively convert sunlight and carbon dioxide into biomass that is high in proteins, carbs, and lipids. Microalgae makes up to 19% starch concentration providing an eco-friendly and sustainable way to satisfy the growing need for renewable energy sources.Although they can be made from …

Performance Analysis of Diesel Engine Using Hemp Biodiesel, Butanol and Diesel Fuel Blend
Abstract: The present study evaluates the possibility of using Hemp oil blended with Butanol (C4H9OH) & conventional diesel as an alternative fuel. Biodiesel is generated from hemp oil by transesterification. Hemp biodiesel is blended with conventional diesel & Butanol in distinct proportions such as B10 (10% hemp biodiesel+ 90% conventional diesel), B10Bu10 (10% hemp biodiesel+ 10% butanol+ 80% conventional diesel), B10Bu20 (10% hemp biodiesel+ 20% butanol+ 70% conventional diesel), B20 (20% …
