A sustainable and eco-friendly fueling approach for direct-injection diesel engines using restaurant yellow grease and n-pentanol in blends with diesel fuel
Waste yellow grease from restaurants is recycled for use in diesel engines. Ternary blends of yellow grease, n-pentanol and diesel has less viscosity. 50% of diesel is replaced by up to 45% recycled component and 20% bio component. Ternary blends showed less NOx and smoke opacity but high HC and CO emissions. Ternary blends delivered improved BSFC with n-pentanol addition.
