Evaluation of Particles Emitted by a Diesel Engine Using Biodiesel and Additives
Year: 2024
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: "One of the alternatives for reducing particles emitted when burning fuel in adiesel engine is fuel additives. This study evaluated the number and mass of particlesemitted by burning a mixture of 89% S10 diesel and 11% biodiesel, compared to thesame fuel using an organic additive. The concentration of the additive used was 10ppm, supplied in a diesel engine with 17.6 kW (24 hp) and 70 N.m of torque. Particleassessment was performed using a TSI NanoScam 3910 spectrometer, and thedilution ratio was 24:1. The evaluation demonstrated that the additive was effective inreducing the number and mass of particles for the tested condition by 36% and 49%respectively. This behavior can be justified due to the higher oxygen content presentin the additive, which enabled the oxidation and reduction of particles."
