Rapeseed oil methyl ester as a diesel fuel
Characteristic features of using biofuels with rapeseed oil in diesel engines have been considered. Spatial configurations of the substrate and the reagent molecules involved in the synthesis of components of the biofuel from vegetable oil are investigated. Viscosity characteristics of mixtures of diesel fuel with rapeseed oil methyl ester are obtained. Results of experimental research of a vehicle diesel engine of the type D-245.12S running on diesel fuel and rapeseed oil methyl ester multipropellant mixtures have been shown. Dependence of fuel efficiency and exhaust gases emissions characteristics on biofuels components has been shown.
