Microalgae: A Potential Source of Biodiesel

The microalgae are considered as one of the most promising feedstocks for future bio-diesel production in India. The advantages of microalgae are their widespread availability. higher oil yields and reduced pressure on cultivable land. The difficulty in efficient biodiesel production from algae lies not only in the extraction of the …

Autoignition of blends of n-butanol and ethanol with diesel or biodiesel fuels in a constant-volume combustion chamber

The following conclusions can be drawn from the present study: The increase in alcohol content in diesel or biodiesel fuels always led to an increase in both IDCF and IDM. Such an increase was sharper at high alcohol contents. This implies that weight or volume averaging of autoignition parameters (such …
