PERFORMANCE AND ECONOMICITY ANALYSIS OF A DIESEL ENGINE THAT RUNS ON BIODIESEL
The paper aims to analyse through simulation of performance indicators (actual Power and Time effective) and economic indices (actual fuel specific consumption) of an engine operating on biofuels. The simulation program is Lotus Engine Simulation, free software for monocilindrice engines. There have been a series of simulations to highlight the differences between a pure Diesel fuel and B100 (100 % Biodiesel).
