Abstract

The primary carbon-neutral and sustainable fuel for compression ignition engines is biodiesel. The high surface tension and high viscosity of different types of biodiesel are the primary causes of technical issues. High viscosity and surface tension in the CI engine lead to incorrect fuel atomization and charge uniformity. Preheating is hence the process used to reduce the biodiesel's viscosity. The Utilizing exhaust gases to pre-heat biodiesel to temperatures of 30°C, 40°C, and 45°C lowers its viscosity and surface tension, improving fuel injection and ultimately enhancing engine performance. Preheating of biodiesel can be made by using special arrangement of exhaust manifold.
