COMPARISON OF ENGINE PERFORMANCE AND EMISSIONS FOR PETROLEUM DIESEL FUEL, YELLOW GREASE BIODIESEL, AND SOYBEAN OIL BIODIESEL
Abstract
Biodiesel is a nontoxic, biodegradable and renewable alternative fuel that can be used with little or no enginemodifications. Biodiesel is currently expensive but would be more cost effective if it could be produced from lowcost oils(restaurant waste, frying oils, animal fats). These lowcost feedstocks are more challenging to process because they containhigh levels of free fatty acids. A process for converting these feedstocks to fuelgrade biodiesel has been developed anddescribed previously. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of the biodiesel produced from high free fattyacid feedstocks on engine performance and emissions. Two different biodiesels were prepared from animal fatbased yellowgrease with 9% free fatty acids and from soybean oil. The neat fuels and their 20% blends with No. 2 diesel fuel were studiedat steadystate engine operating conditions in a fourcylinder turbocharged diesel engine. Although both biodiesel fuelsprovided significant reductions in particulates, carbon monoxide, and unburned hydrocarbons, the oxides of nitrogenincreased by 11% and 13% for the yellow grease methyl ester and soybean oil methyl ester, respectively. The conversion ofthe biodiesel fuels energy to work was equal to that from diesel fuel.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
