Abstract

âº A reduced biodiesel mechanism for 3D-CFD modelling of diesel engine is proposed. âº The proposed mechanism is applicable for various biodiesel fuel types and blends. âº Two global reactions are used to mimic the unsaturation levels in biodiesel fuels. âº Highest NOx reductions are achieved at low load when fuelled with biodiesels. âº Highest soot reductions are achieved at high load when fuelled with biodiesels.
