Effect of start injection toward combustion, performances and emision characteristic of B20 biodiesel fuel

The utilization of the palm oil-based fuel in biodiesel fuel as alternative fuel for diesel engine has been implemented in Malaysia. However, the utilization of biodiesel is problematic because the low output power is due to incomplete combustion and incorrect vaporization characteristic. In t...

In this research, a small compression ignition engine with 320 cc four strokes direct injection has been used to carry out to characterize the combustion of biodiesel fuel.
