Theoretical study of combustion processes of biodiesel-diesel blends in ICE

Abstract

The paper addresses the theoretical analysis of the combustion process in the DC4 11.0/12.5 engine, using pure biodiesel (B100) and biodiesel-diesel blends (B20, B50) as fuels. The study is based on performing the thermal calculation of the combustion process, monitoring the characteristic parameters of the engine cycle, such as pressure, temperature, etc. The analysis highlights the differences in behavior between conventional and alternative fuels, with an emphasis on the influence of the proportion of biodiesel on combustion. The results contribute to the substantiation of the use of biodiesel as a sustainable solution for reducing dependence on diesel.
