Influence of using emulsified palm biodiesel fuel on the performance and pollutants emitted from diesel engine

As the population growth rapidly, the global energy consumption also increases especially in personal transportation, vehicles. To solve the problem of energy sources, biodiesel is chosen as it is a renewable, sustainable and suitable to use on current diesel engine without modified the engine. Prev...
