| Abstract [eng] |
The dissertation investigates the energy and environmental performance of a compression ignition engine operating on biodiesel blends derived from animal-based non-food fats and first- and second-generation biodiesel fuels. The research encompasses experimental and numerical analyses, evaluating how diverse biodiesel compositions influence engine operation. Nine fuel blends, including hydrotreated vegetable oils (HVO) and fatty acid methyl esters (FAME), were prepared and tested under controlled conditions. The research examined key parameters such as ignition delay, combustion pres-sure, temperature variations, CO₂, CO, NOₓ, HC emissions. |
