Modelling and experimental analysis of aero-engine performance and exhaust emission characteristics fueled with green fuel blends

This study aims to assess the impact of using green fuel in place of biodiesel on the performance and exhaust emissions of air-breathing engines. GasTurb 13 is utilized to forecast the engine's performance (kingTech 180 k turbojet engine). Catalytic deoxygenation of vegetable oils produces gree...
