Abstract:

Biodiesel has diverse sources of feedstock and the amount and composition of its emissions vary significantly depending on ; combustion conditions. Results of laboratory and field tests reveal that nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) ; emissions from biodiesel are influenced more by combustion conditions than emissions from regular diesel. Therefore, NOx and ; PM emissions documented through experiments and modeling studies are the primary focus of this investigation. In addition, a ; comprehensive analysis of the feedstock-related combustion characteristics and pollutants are investigated. Research findings ; verify that the oxygen contents, the degree of unsaturation, and the size of the fatty acids in biodiesel are the most important ; factors that determine the amounts and compositions of NOx and PM emissions.
