| dc.description.abstract | This study is devoted to the performance and emission evaluation of automotive diesel engine as affected by
palm biodiesel fuel utilization. The concentration of palm biodiesel used in the test was ranged from B0 (pure petrodiesel),
B10,
B20,
B30,
B50
and
B100
(pure
biodiesel).
The
engine
performance
was
evaluated
through
torque,
power,
and
specific
fuel
consumption,
while
the
emission
was
evaluated
through
carbon
monoxide
(CO),
hydrocarbon
(HC),
and
particulate
matter (PM), carbon dioxide (CO2), and NOx pollutants. The result shows that higher content of palm
biodiesel can reduce the emission of CO, HC, PM, and CO2. It was found that the addition of biodiesel could increase
the power and torque. Furthermore, NOx also decreased when the content of palm biodiesel increases, which is in
contrast with those generally found in the previous non palm biodiesel studies | en_US |
