Study of performance, combustion, and emissions parameters of DI-diesel engine fueled with algae biodiesel/diesel/n-pentane blends

Medhat Elkelawy et al.

Summary: In this study, biodiesel extracted from Scenedesmus obliquus algae was used as a blend of B50 with diesel. By adding n-pentane as an enhancer additive in varying amounts, engine performance was enhanced with the best results achieved at 15 ml per liter. While there was an increase in nitrogen oxides emission in exhaust gases, hydrocarbons emission decreased compared to B50, indicating the significant impact of n-pentane addition.
