Abstract

PurposeEnergy is the prime mover of economic growth and is vital to the sustenance of a modern economy. Future economic growth depends heavily on the long-term availability of energy from sources that are affordable, accessible, and environmentally friendly. Regulating the sulfur content in Diesel fuel is expected to reduce the lubricity of these fuels, which may result in increased wear and damage of fuel injection systems in Diesel engines.Design/methodology/approachThe tribological properties of the biodiesels as additive in pure petro-Diesel are studied by ball-on-ring wear tester in order to find out optimal concentration, and the mechanism of the reduction of wear and friction will be investigated by optical microscopy(OM). FindingsStudies have shown that low concentrations of biodiesel blends are more effective as lubricants because of their superior polarity. Using biodiesel as a fuel additive in a pure petroleum Diesel fuel improves engine performance and exhaust emissions. The high biodegradability and superior lubricating property of biodiesel when used in compression ignition engines renders it an excellent fuel.Originality/valueThis detailed experimental investigation confirms that biodiesel can substitute mineral Diesel without any modification in the engine. The use of biofuels as Diesel engine fuels can play a vital role in helping the developed and developing countries to reduce the environmental impact of fossil fuels.
