Modelling the performance and emission prediction of RB211 aero-gas turbine engine fuelled by Jatropha-based biofuel

Fossil fuel is one of the world vital energy resources. The development of transportation technologies increases the demand for petroleum derivative globally. Fossil fuel consumption produces emissions, which potentially harm the environment and human health. Many mitigations have been implemented t...
