Biodiesel-fuelled direct injection compression ignition engine

Abstract

This chapter presents a research that was carried out mainly to partly solve the problem that comes up from the depletion of fossil fuel, through the use of biodiesel. Biodiesel is easily attained because of its renewable nature. This chapter discusses the feasibility of biodiesel as an alternative fuel in a compression ignition (diesel) engine; under certain engine’s operating condition. The engine behaviour under the influence of different fractions of biodiesel (B0, B7, B10 and B20) is demonstrated.
