Effect of Ambient Temperature on the Performance of a Diesel Engine Operating with Biofuel

Biofuel is an alternative fuel source for diesel engines. This resource is said to have the potential to make diesel engines more efficient and economical. The aim of this paper is to study the effect of ambient temperature on combustion and performance of a diesel engine when using biofuel. The one...
