They found that total particulate gravimetric mass collected over the engine test cycle was more than 2 times higher for B0 than for B20 fuel. Particle number distributions aggregated over one example drive cycle indicate a unimodal B0 distribution centered at 51 nm, but a B20 distribution with a smaller diameter mode at 32.2

In a study published in the ACS journal Energy & Fuels , a team from the University of Vermont reports that particulate matter from the combustion of biodiesel blends may be 50–80% less toxic per unit PM mass emitted than PM from petroleum diesel, depending on feedstock. nmol/min/mg PM for B0 and B100, respectively, and from 22.6 ± 4.5

EGR improved both Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC) and Brake Thermal Efficiency (BTE) for the studied fuels with respect to baseline conditions. Their paper is published in the journal Fuel. As the engine load was increased—and hence the fuel injection pressure—the combustion performance of B33 was improved.

Blending jatropha biodiesel (JBD) with Fischer-Tropsch synthetic diesel (FT) results in lower CO, THC, smoke and PM emissions compared to neat FT, according to a study by researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) published in the ACS journal Energy & Fuels.

For consideration as a qualifying fuel, the waste-derived biofuel must yield a 50% greenhouse gas reduction threshold required in the Massachusetts law as determined by a preliminary analysis based on both CARB and EPA methodologies. Massachusetts was the first state in the nation to require biofuel in home heating fuel.

Their study was published online 21 December in the ACS journal Energy & Fuels. MJ/kg vs 43 MJ/kg) brake-specific fuel consumption (BSFC) increases to attain the same power level. L inline six-cylinder turbo-diesel outfitted with common rail fuel injection, externally cooled EGR, and VGT.
