Abstract
The present study aims to optimize the process parameters to formulate a stable water-biodiesel emulsion fuel and permute it as a sustainable and greener source for biofuel application. Biodiesel is derived from waste orange peels and its chemical constituents are characterized. Water emulsion in base fuel is considered to promote energy-and-environmental impacts. As the quality of emulsion fuel depends on the physicochemical properties which are directly influenced by base fuel, water, and surfactant concentrations, a multi-response optimization tool is implemented to derive the optimum levels for process parameters. The optimization result shows that the base diesel blended with 30% orange peel oil, 10 % water, and 1 % surfactant promotes superior fuel quality, and the water has a maximum influence on fuel quality (54.41 %). The emission assessment at peak brake mean-effective indicates that the hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, and smoke emissions are reduced by 26.9 %, 49 %, 4.1 %, and 17.2 % at optimal conditions compared to base diesel, respectively.
期刊介绍:
The main aims of Thermal Science
to publish papers giving results of the fundamental and applied research in different, but closely connected fields:
fluid mechanics (mainly turbulent flows), heat transfer, mass transfer, combustion and chemical processes
in single, and specifically in multi-phase and multi-component flows
in high-temperature chemically reacting flows
processes present in thermal engineering, energy generating or consuming equipment, process and chemical engineering equipment and devices, ecological engineering,
The important characteristic of the journal is the orientation to the fundamental results of the investigations of different physical and chemical processes, always jointly present in real conditions, and their mutual influence. To publish papers written by experts from different fields: mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics and related fields. To inform international scientific community about the recent, and most prominent fundamental results achieved in the South-East European region, and particularly in Serbia, and - vice versa - to inform the scientific community from South-East European Region about recent fundamental and applied scientific achievements in developed countries, serving as a basis for technology development. To achieve international standards of the published papers, by the engagement of experts from different countries in the International Advisory board.
