Abstract
Diesel engines are internal combustion engines that are fulfilling important
functions and powered by fossil origin diesel and biodiesel. Since fossil-based fuels
have finite reserve, and they are quickly consumed today and will be exhausted in
the near future, and combustion of the fuel releasing significantly pollution
components into the atmosphere have accelerated scientific studies on alternative
fuels.
In this study, animal fat methyl ester (AFME) and JP-8 fuel were blended and the
exhaust emissions were investigated. Experiments held in a single cylinder, air
cooled, direct injection diesel engine. With the test depending on the engine speed
increases, exhaust emissions have been determined and the results obtained are
compared with the values of diesel fuel. Accordingly, JP-8 and biodiesel fuel
blends were determined at lower CO and HC emissions compared to D2 fuel. It
has been concluded that test fuel can be used in diesel engines with success without
any modifications on engine construction.
