Extraction of Biodiesel from Palm Oil: Performance Analysis of Diesel Engine Using Various B-Blends

Abstract

The utilization of biodiesel as an alternative fuel has gained significant attention due to its renewable nature and potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In this review paper, we explore the extraction process of biodiesel from palm oil, a widely available feedstock. The focus is on analyzing the performance of a diesel engine using various B-blends of biodiesel, which are blends of biodiesel with conventional diesel fuel. The study investigates the effects of different blend ratios on engine performance parameters such as fuel consumption, power output, emissions, and combustion characteristics. Furthermore, the review examines the impact of biodiesel properties, including viscosity, density, and cetane number, on engine performance. The findings of this review provide insights into the viability of palm oil-derived biodiesel and its potential for enhancing the performance of diesel engines. The knowledge gained from this study contributes to the ongoing efforts to promote sustainable and efficient energy solutions in the transportation sector. Key Words: Biodiesel, oil, B-Blends,
