Jatropha Biodiesel-FT Blends Reduce Most Criteria Pollutants Compared to Neat FT; Higher NOx

Green Car Congress

The authors tested JBD blended with FT fuel in volumetric ratios of 0:100, 25:75, 50:50, 75:25, and 100:0 (B0, B25, B50, B75, and B100). However, NO x emissions were higher, and the engine thermal efficiency was slightly lower with higher JBD blends. Compared to FT fuel, higher JBD blends showed higher BSFC and lower thermal efficiency.
