Abstract Details

2009, Master of Science (MS), Ohio University, Mechanical Engineering (Engineering and Technology).
The increasing concerns related to long term availability of petroleum-based fuels and the emissions from diesel-powered vehicles have given rise to a growing search for an alternate source of fuels for use in diesel vehicles. One of the most recent and promising findings in this field is “Bio-diesel”. The thesis uses a comparative study of NOx emission characteristics for regular diesel fuel and soy based biodiesel for a four cylinder, 60 HP turbocharged diesel engine for validation of the engine and the emission test rig. Modifications are recommended for the current test setup and test procedure to enable research quality testing of Algae based biodiesel.
