Influence of Fuel Temperature on a Diesel Engine Performance Operating with Biodiesel Blended

This paper is presented to study the effect of temperature using 5 % biodiesel blended on diesel engine performance. The one-dimensional numerical analysis of GT-Power software is used to simulate the commercial four cylinder diesel engine. The standard fuel data base of GT-Power does not contain an...
