Abstract
Energy is vital to the profitable growth of every nation and to stimulate new research. Only natural resources can meet the growing energy demand in recent years, biodiesel has become very interested in the energy as well as environmental advantages that it can be combined with mineral diesel fuel in any quantity. The research focuses on the study of the replacement of diesel with a safflower methyl ester. The engine tests shall be performed using the safflower methyl ester as fuel in the DI diesel engine. The combustion, emission and performance characteristics were studied using alternative fuels and mixtures. SAfflower Methyl Ester 80% (SAME80) and SAME100 have high heat release rates. Nitrogen oxides were higher by about 50%, carbon monoxide decreased by 10%, unburnt hydrocarbon was slightly higher and the thermal efficiency was higher for the SAME than for diesel fuel.
期刊介绍:
OGST - Revue d''IFP Energies nouvelles is a journal concerning all disciplines and fields relevant to exploration, production, refining, petrochemicals, and the use and economics of petroleum, natural gas, and other sources of energy, in particular alternative energies with in view of the energy transition.
OGST - Revue d''IFP Energies nouvelles has an Editorial Committee made up of 15 leading European personalities from universities and from industry, and is indexed in the major international bibliographical databases.
The journal publishes review articles, in English or in French, and topical issues, giving an overview of the contributions of complementary disciplines in tackling contemporary problems. Each article includes a detailed abstract in English. However, a French translation of the summaries can be provided to readers on request. Summaries of all papers published in the revue from 1974 can be consulted on this site. Over 1 000 papers that have been published since 1997 are freely available in full text form (as pdf files). Currently, over 10 000 downloads are recorded per month.
Researchers in the above fields are invited to submit an article. Rigorous selection of the articles is ensured by a review process that involves IFPEN and external experts as well as the members of the editorial committee. It is preferable to submit the articles in English, either as independent papers or in association with one of the upcoming topical issues.
