Experimental Study of Biodiesel Combustion Characteristics Marwan Khalil
This presentation was my dissertation defense in partial fulfillment of my degree requirements. It presents figures and numbers about the current Energy status and the dependency of the middle east on liquid fuels which, highlights the need of an alternative liquid fuel to retrofit diesel fuel. The Arab Academy for Science, Technology, and Maritime Transport began producing Biodiesel from Waste Vegetable Oils under the Center of Aqua-Cultural Research managed by Dr. Essam Abd el Mula. In this presentation the experimental approach to test the biodiesel blends was presented, moreover results and discussion give in depth information for designers and burner operators about the combustion of biodiesel fuel blends.

In this study, complete PVT lab experiments were done and then evaluate the most frequently used empirical black oil PVT correlations for application in the Middle East. Empirical PVT Correlations for Middle East crude oil have been compared as a function of commonly available PVT data. Correlations have been compared for: Bubble point pressure; solution gas oil ratio, oil formation volume factor, oil density, and oil viscosity. After evaluates the Empirical correlations the crude sample was characterized using different EOS to arrive at one EOS model that accurately describes the PVT behavior of crude oil produced.
Study of Performance of Different Blends of Biodiesel Prepared From Waste Co...IJMER
The use of biodiesel is rapidly expanding around the world, making it imperative to fully
understand the impacts of biodiesel on the diesel engine combustion process and pollutant formation.
Biodiesel was made by the well-known transesterification process. Waste cottonseed oil was selected for
biodiesel production. Three different blends of biodiesel were prepared i.e. B10, B20 and B30. These three
blends were fuelled in a compression ignition (C.I.) engine. A maximum of 77% biodiesel was produced
with 20% methanol in presence of 0.5% sodium hydroxide. Different parameters for the optimization of
biodiesel production were investigated in the first phase of this study, while in the next phase of the study
performance test of a diesel engine with neat diesel fuel and biodiesel mixtures are to be carried out. The
performance characteristics like brake power (B.P.), brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) and brake
thermal efficiency. This performance was then compared with that of petro diesel.
Correlation of True Boiling Point of Crude OilIRJESJOURNAL
Abstract :- The knowledge of the crude boiling point is very important for the refining process design and optimization. In this project the aim is to find the correlation of true boiling points. The study will be very useful in crude transportation and downstream operations. Correlation is tried to obtain by testing a number of crude oil samples from heavy to light. The comparisons of boiling point of different crude samples obtained is tried to compare with already existing correlations. Framol, Destmol and Riazi’s, these three correlation models have taken. The result showed that comparison of three correlation models and which is more accurate.
Computer simulation of ci engine for diesel and biodisel blendsLaukik Raut
Among the alternative fuels, biodiesel and its blends
are considered suitable and the most promising fuel for diesel
engine. The properties of biodiesel are found similar to that of
diesel. Many researchers have experimentally evaluated the
performance characteristics of conventional diesel engines
fuelled by biodiesel and its blends. However, experiments require
enormous effort, money and time. Hence, a cycle simulation
model incorporating a thermodynamic based single zone
combustion model is developed to predict the performance of
diesel engine. A comprehensive computer code using “C”
language was developed for compression ignition (C.I) engine.
Combustion characteristics such as cylinder pressure, heat
release, heat transfer and performance characteristics such as
work done, brake power and brake thermal efficiency (BTE) were
analyzed. On the basis of first law of thermodynamics the
properties at each degree crank angle was calculated. The
simulated combustion and performance characteristics are found
satisfactory with the experimental results
