Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Hydroxylated Compounds on Properties and Emission of Palm BiodieselRoila Awang, Choo Yuen MayThe Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) attempted the search for a viable alternative fuel leading to a possible substitution to the conventional diesel since 1982, using palm oil derived fuel. Numerous studies have shown that most exhaust emission encountered with conventional diesel fuel are reduced with biodiesel,with the exception of nitrogen oxides (NOx). This paper is reported on the effect … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 7,144 accessesView PDFCite

Venkatraman, G. DevaradjaneProblem statement: The present work describes a theoretical investigation concerning the performance of a four strokes compression ignition engine, which is powered by alternative fuels in the form of diesel and diesel biodiesel blends. Approach: The developed simulation model used to estimate the cylinder pressure, heat release rate, brake thermal efficiency, brake specific fuel consumption and engine out emissions. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 9 · 2 Aug 2011 · 7,727 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTransesterification of Palm Oil for the Production of BiodieselKhalizani Khalid, Khalisanni KhalidProblem statement: Palm oil is known as an important source of edible oil with significant values of renewable energy. Depletion of petroleum had captured much attention on producing biodiesel from the palm oil. Approach: The most concerning methods for the production of biodiesel were discussed, namely transesterification (alkali and acid), enzymetic approach and supercritical alcohol. Results: The results showed the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 8 · 19 Jul 2011 · 8,389 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMethanol-Based Transesterification Optimization of Waste Used Cooking Oil over Potassium Hydroxide CatalystCholada Komintarachat, Sathaporn ChuepengProblem statement: Waste used Cooking Oil (WCO) harmfully affected to environment and human’s health can be a feedstock for producing biodiesel. Approach: The conversion of Fatty Acid and Free Fatty Acid (FFA) of WCO with 15.0% w/w FFA content to biodiesel was studied through transesterification reactions. This work investigated the effects of alcohol and catalyst quantity, reaction time and temperature … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 9,739 accessesView PDFCite
