Öğe Biodiesel production from inedible animal tallow and an experimental investigation of its use as alternative fuel in a direct injection diesel engine(Elsevier, 2009-02-15) Altun, Şehmus; Öner, CengizIn this study, a substitute fuel for diesel engines was produced from inedible animal tallow and its usability was investigated as pure biodiesel and its blends with petroleum diesel fuel in a diesel engine. Tallow methyl ester as biodiesel fuel was prepared by base-catalyzed transesterification of the fat with methanol in the presence of NaOH as catalyst. Fuel properties of methyl ester, diesel fuel and blends of them (5%, 20% and 50% by volume) were determined. Viscosity and density of fatty acid methyl ester have been found to meet ASTM D6751 and EN 14214 specifications. Viscosity and density of tallow methyl esters are found to be very close to that of diesel. The calorific value of biodiesel is found to be slightly lower than that of diesel. An experimental study was carried out in order to investigate of its usability as alternative fuel of tallow methyl ester in a direct injection diesel engine. It was observed that the addition of biodiesel to the diesel fuel decreases the effective efficiency of engine and increases the specific fuel consumption. This is due to the lower heating value of biodiesel compared to diesel fuel. However, the effective engine power was comparable by biodiesel compared with diesel fuel. Emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), sulphur dioxide (SO2) and smoke opacity were reduced around 15%, 38.5%, 72.7% and 56.8%, respectively, in case of tallow methyl esters (B100) compared to diesel fuel. Besides, the lowest CO, NOx emissions and the highest exhaust temperature were obtained for B20 among all other fuels. The reductions in exhaust emissions made tallow methyl esters and its blends, especially B20 a suitable alternative fuel for diesel and thus could help in controlling air pollution. Based on this study, animal tallow methyl esters and its blends with petroleum diesel fuel can be used a substitute for diesel in direct injection diesel engines without any engine modification.Öğe The comparison of engine performance and exhaust emission characteristics of sesame oil-diesel fuel mixture with diesel fuel in a direct injection diesel engine(Elsevier, 2008-01-09) Altun, Şehmus; Bulut, Hüsamettin; Öner, CengizThe use of vegetable oils as a fuel in diesel engines causes some problems due to their high viscosity compared with conventional diesel fuel. Various techniques and methods are used to solve the problems resulting from high viscosity. One of these techniques is fuel blending. In this study, a blend of 50% sesame oil and 50% diesel fuel was used as an alternative fuel in a direct injection diesel engine. Engine performance and exhaust emissions were investigated and compared with the ordinary diesel fuel in a diesel engine. The experimental results show that the engine power and torque of the mixture of sesame oil-diesel fuel are close to the values obtained from diesel fuel and the amounts of exhaust emissions are lower than those of diesel fuel. Hence, it is seen that blend of sesame oil and diesel fuel can be used as an alternative fuel successfully in a diesel engine without any modification and also it is an environmental friendly fuel in terms of emission parameters.Öğe An analysis of biodiesel requirement, production and policies in Turkey(e-Journal of New World Sciences Academy, 2008-02-01) Aydın, Hüseyin; Bayındır, HasanThe development of alternative fuels from renewable resources, like biomass, has gained considerable attention in recent years. A biodiesel program would give many benefits in terms of generation of employment for poor/rural people, farmers, accelerate of starting many type of industries for developing countries like Turkey. This paper investigates current status of biodiesel in Turkey, advantages and disadvantages of biodiesel in diesel engines, annual diesel fuel consumption, import and export ratings and annual diesel fuel demand. The main focus of this paper is on Turkey’s current fuel status and to clarify Turkey’s biodiesel demand as alternative to fossil diesel fuel. Results show that Turkey is highly in need of alternative energies such as bio-fuels. That’s way it is recommended that Turkey should promote oilseed crops farming to the rise production of biodiesel.Öğe Bir dizel motorunda kanola yağı kullanımında ön-ısıtma işleminin egzoz emisyonlarına etkilerinin deneysel araştırılması(e-Journal of New World Sciences Academy, 2009-03-01) Aydın, Hüseyin; Öner, Cengiz; İlkılıç, Cumali; Hazar, HanbeyBu çalışmanın amacı; bitkisel yağlardan olan kanola yağının önceden ısıtılarak bir dizel motorunda kullanımından kaynaklanan egzoz emisyonlarının nasıl değiştiğini incelemektir. Bu amaçla saf kanola yağı %20 ve %50 oranlarında dizel yakıtı ile karıştırılmış ve bu karışım yakıtlar dört zamanlı, tek silindirli ve hava soğutmalı bir dizel motorda kullanılmıştır. Karışım yakıtlar kullanım sırasında 100o C sıcaklığa kadar ısıtıldıktan sonra kullanılmış ve bu ön ısıtma işleminin dizel motorda ısıl verim, egzoz gazı sıcaklığı, NOx, CO ve duman emisyonlarına etkileri araştırılmıştır. Ön ısıtma işleminin CRO’ nun viskozitesini azalttığı ve daha uygun bir yakıt akışı sağlayarak emisyonlar üzerinde olumlu etki yaptığı sunucuna varılmıştırÖğe Fındık yağı biyodizelinin alternatif yakıt olarak bir dizel motorunda kullanılması(Doğu Anadolu Bölgesi Araştırma ve Uygulama Merkezi, 2008-03-30) Altun, Şehmus; Öner, Cengiz; Keven, ArzuBiyodizel, bitkisel ve hayvansal yağlar gibi yenilenebilir hammaddelerden üretilebilen alternatif dizel motor yakıtıdır. Bu çalışmada bir bitkisel yağ olan ham fındık yağından esterifikasyon ile fındık yağı etil esteri (biyodizel) elde edilmiş ve bu yakıtın dört zamanlı, tek silindirli, direk enjeksiyonlu ve hava soğutmalı bir dizel motorunda alternatif yakıt olarak kullanılabilirliği araştırılmıştır. Yapılan testlerde fındık yağı etil esterlerinin çok düşük olan viskozitesinden dolayı saf olarak kullanılamadığı görülmüştür. Bu nedenle fındık yağı etil esteri motorin ile hacimsel olarak %50 oranında karıştırılarak tekrar kullanılmıştır. Dizel yakıtı ile karşılaştırılma yapılırsa yakıt karışımı kullanıldığında motor performans değerlerinde iyileşme olduğu, ancak NOx emisyonunun da arttığı görülmüştür.
