What is Biodiesel? || Features || Advantages || Disadvantages || knowledgeaboutautomobile.com

Biodiesel:

        



Introduction:

Biodiesel is a form of diesel fuel manufactured from vegetable oils, animal fats or recycled restaurant oils.



Features of biodiesel:

It is safe and biodegradable and produces fewer air pollutants than petroleum-based diesel. It can be used in its pure form (B100) or blended with petroleum diesel.

Common blends include B2 (2% biodiesel), B5 and B20. B2 and B5 can be used safely in most diesel engines.

However, most vehicle manufacturers do not recommend using blends greater than B5, and engine damage caused by higher blends is not covered by some manufacturer warranties.



 Advantages:

  •  can be used in most diesel engines, especially newer ones
  •  produces fewer air pollutants (other than NO x ) and greenhouse gases
  •  biodegradable
  •  non-toxic
  •  safer to handle.

Disadvantages:

  • use of blends above B5 may not yet be approved by manufacturers
  • lower fuel economy and power (10% lower for B100, 2% for B20)
  • more NO x emissions
  • B100 generally not suitable for use in low temperatures
  • concerns about B100’s impact on engine durability.

Battery: definition, functions, Types, History, components, diagram,

 BATTERY: A battery in automobiles, is an electrochemical device which produce electricity (current) through chemical action inside it. The battery does not store electricity a electrons. The battery stores energy in the chemical form. The electrical energy is produced in the battery by the chemical reaction that occurs between two dissimilar plates that are immersed in a electrolyte solution.  The automotive batteries are rechargeable, therefore, they can also convert a electrical current into chemical energy and stores that energy until it is needed. The amount of electrical energy that a battery can produce depends upon the size, weight,  active area of plates, and the amount of sulphuric acid in the electrolyte. The greatest requirement of electrical energy from the battery occurs when it supplies current for operating the starter in When the engine is started, the vehicle's charging system (generator) supplies current to recharge the battery and to run the electrica...
