    1.0 IntroductionBiodiesel is defined as mono-alky esters of long -chain fatty acid. It is a fuel that derived from the vegetable oils, animal fats, which is similar to the diesel fuel except that it is made from the crops. It is produced from domestically grown, renewable sources, such as crop oils or animal fats which are then chemically converted into biodiesel (Habmigren, 2003). Unlike diesel, biodiesel contains no petroleum products and free of sulfur compounds and aromatics (Habmigren, 2003). Until today, it is still the only alternative fuel for motor vehicle. The biodiesel blends have ranged from 2/98% (B2), 20/80% (B20), to 100% (B100) (Hafman, 2003). The reasons biodiesel is a viable alternative to diesel from fossil fuels for trucks and buses are it can reduce the pollution, it can enhance the country's economy, and it is renewable sources and can produce almost same energy as diesel fuels.…

    Diesel vs Gas

    The way the gas and diesel engines start are a major difference in the two. Gas engines use spark plugs to ignite the fuel. Diesels do not have spark plugs, they use compression. A gasoline engine intakes a mixture of gas and air, compresses it and ignites the mixture with a spark from the spark plug. A diesel engine takes in just air, compresses it, and then injects fuel into the compressed air. The heat of the compressed air lights the fuel. Both modern engines use Electronic Fuel Injection to inject fuel into the cylinders.…

    The basic difference between a diesel engine and a gasoline engine is that in a diesel engine, the fuel is sprayed into the combustion chambers through fuel injector nozzles just when the air in each chamber has been placed under such great pressure that it’s hot enough to ignite the fuel spontaneously.…

    The diesel engine has provided the world with cheap and efficient power for over one hundred years. The invention was first thought up by Rudolph Diesel in 1892. He wanted to create an engine that would be more efficient than the steam engine, which was only 12% efficient. He filed for a patent in Germany in February of 1892. He was granted a patent for a “Working Method and Design for Combustion Engines...new efficient, thermal engine” (History). With his patent ready, he made contracts with large companies such as Frederick Krupp and other manufacturers. Diesel created his first working engine a year later, which ran on peanut oil. That was the fuel that Diesel thought would be overall the most efficient and cost effective, it was the first bio-diesel. The engine ran at 26% efficiency, which was 14% efficient more than the steam engine, almost double. However, Diesel did not think it was enough, so he went back to the drawing board. Later in 1987, he made another model that operated at a whopping 75% efficiency (History). This was an incredible achievement because it meant that it could replace the work that steam engines do at a fraction of the cost. Nowadays diesel engine manufacturers are in competition with gasoline engine manufacturers. Diesels are making comeback to the industry because they are quieter, lighter, more efficient, less polluting and more powerful than ever. Many companies recently have been releasing cars that have ridiculously high MPG's and more power than their gasoline counterparts. The people in the United States like the idea of a fuel efficient car, but get turned off when they hear the idea of a diesel car because of their reputation of being loud and stinky. People need to be reeducated because these…

    The objective of pre-feasibility study of the biodiesel production from waste cooking oil using solid catalyst (CaO/SrO/ZnO) is to study and design biodiesel process because the advantages of heterogeneous catalyst are reuseable and less amount of wastewater from washing process. In this project , starting with study and collect data from lab-scale experiment and study about Aspen Plus, program to design and simulate biodiesel processes with complicate calculation, and use Aspen Plus to find mass balance and energy balance and scales up to commercial-scale process. After simulation with capacity of biodiesel is 50,516 litres per day (44,454 kilogrames per day) by used Waste cooking oil 45,000 kilogrames per day , methanol is used in esterification process 24,165 kilogrames per day , methanol is used transesterification process 18,302 kilogrames per day , get glycerol (by-product) 3,898 kilogrames per day and used total enegy 48,755,151 kilojoules per day. Then, we use Aspen Process Economic Analyzer program to do plant cost estimation and pre-feasibility study. We found that (Net Present Value , NPV) = 51,506,864 which is more than zero , (Internal Rate of Return , IRR) = 16.66% which is more than desired rate of return (15%) and (Payback Period) = 14.22 years so this project should be invested. Moreover, we do sensitivity analysis for study about factors that can effected pre-feasibility study and found that the price of biodiesel is factor that most effected Internal Rate of Return , IRR…
