[Paper Title, Abstract] Experimental Investigation of Biodiesel from Pork-Lard as an Environmental Friendly Fuel in an Indirect Injection Diesel Engine Show AbstractHide Abstract Currently, biodiesel (BD) is produced mainly from various vegetable oils in South Korea. Our previous study has investigated high-quality BD synthesis from Pork lard. Therefore, the animal fats have a great potential to increase the BD production scale. This investigation presents the experimental results of Pork lard BD blends with commercial diesel fuel effects on the indirect injection (IDI) diesel engine and aimed at evaluating the overall performances, combustion characteristics and exhaust emissions. Engine torque and power were reduced slightly at high engine speed, while the brake specific fuel consumption was increased for lard BD blends. The lower calorific value of lard BD results in increased energy consumption but the engine thermal efficiency is not affected significantly. The in-cylinder pressure and heat release curves for lard BD blends were similar to those of diesel fuel. Moreover, the ignition delay was shorter for the lard BD blends. It was observed that the smoke and carbon oxides remarkably decreased. On the whole, the lard BD blends results in more complete and cleaner combustion than commercial diesel fuel in an IDI diesel engine. [Schedule] TBD [Category :: Sub-Category]
