"Oxides of nitrogen emissions from biodiesel-fuelled diesel engines"

Biodiesel as an augmenting fuel to petroleum diesel has advantages like lower CO, lower CO₂, decreased particulate matter emission and lower UBHC and few disadvantages like poorer cold flow characteristics, lower heating values, and mostly reported higher emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx = NO + NO₂, where NO is nitric oxide and NO₂ is nitrogen dioxide). Emission of oxides of nitrogen is the focus of this review article. Formation of NOx is a complex process and gets affected by several parameters like injection timing, adiabatic flame temperature, radiation heat transfer, and ignition delay. This article provides a review of the rich literature describing these parameters, and provides additional insight into the system responses that are manifested by the use of biodiesel.
