Energy Engineering: Biodiesel



INTRODUCTION
India imported about 2/3rd of its petroleum requirements last year, which involved a cost of approximately Rs. 80,000 crores in foreign exchange. Even 5% replacement of petroleum fuel by bio-fuels can help India save Rs.4000 crores per year in foreign exchange. It is utmost important that the options for substitution of petroleum fuels be explored to control this rapidly growing import bill. With the stock of fossil fuels diminishing th ....etc

ppt on biodiesel extraction from waste plastic material

Thermal depolymerization (TDP) is a depolymerization process using hydrous pyrolysis for the reduction of complex organic materials (usually waste products of various sorts, often biomass and plastic) into light crude oil. It mimics the natural geological processes thought to be involved in the production of fossil fuels. Under pressure and heat, long chain polymers of hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon decompose into short-chain petroleum hydrocarbons with a maximum length of around 18 carbons ....etc

TOPIC: Biodiesel production from waste chicken fat based sources and evaluation
with Mg based additive in a diesel engine
a b s t r a c t
In this study, chicken fat biodiesel with synthetic Mg additive was studied in a single-cylinder, direct injection (DI) diesel engine and its effects on engine performance and exhaust emissions were studied. A two-step catalytic process was chosen for the synthesis of ....etc

Introduction
The consumption and demand for the petroleum products are increasing every year due to increase in population, standard of living and urbanization. Diesel consumption pattern in India has not varied much and is around 36x106 tonnes as reported by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (Table 1). The increase in crude oil import affects the country s economy and its development. The diesel vehicles were banned in New Delhi for serious problem of air pollution due to higher emissions of polluted gases. The acid rain, glob ....etc

Biodiesel production from Jatropha caucus oil in a batch reactor using zinc oxide as catalyst



INTRODUCTION

Majority of the world energy needs are supplied through
petrochemical sources, coal, and natural gases, with the
exception of hydroelectricity and nuclear energy. Of all
these sources that are finite, the current usage rates will
be consumed shortly. Non-renewable energy sources
such as petroleum are related to several drawbacks
including; increase green house emission ....etc

biodiesel from neem oil pdf

Abstract

In the current energy scene of fossil fuel, renewable energy sources such as biodiesel, bioethanol, biomethane, and biomass from wastes or hydrogen have become the subjects of great interest. These fuels contribute to the reduction of dependence on fossil fuels. In addition, energy sources such as these could partially replace the use of those fuels which are responsible for environmental pollution and may be scarce in the future. For these reasons they are known as alternative fuels . Vegetable oil cann ....etc

INTRODUCTION:
The potential for Biodiesel availability is limited to roughly 2% of the current diesel fuel consumption. The present cost of Biodiesel is 2 to 3 times higher than diesel. Higher taxes on diesel fuel or tax incentives for Biodiesel, to eliminate this price differential, do not seem feasible at this time. Hence Biodiesel must find uses in markets where its positive attributes may support its higher cost and preferable in the form of lower level blends in diesel in ordered to minimize the incremental cost.
Be ....etc

The effect of biodiesel and bioethanol blended diesel fuel on nanoparticles
and exhaust emissions from CRDI diesel engine


Introduction
Since diesel engines have higher thermal efficiency than gasoline
engines, they have an advantage in reducing global warming
and in using less fossil fuel. However, they emit more diesel PM
(particulate matter) than gasoline engines because of the relatively
low rate of utilization of air. The after-treatment of the diesel engine
exhaust was ....etc
