Combustion Analysis of Diesel Engine Fueled with Jatropha Oil Methyl Ester - Diesel Blends (2007, background): “• With methanol as a secondary fuel in dual fuel mode operation, JTME shows good performance and lesser emission than that of diesel (Kumar et al., 2003).”
Biodiesel production from crude Jatropha curcas L. seed oil with a high content of free fatty acids. (2008, background): “Oil contents, physicochemical properties, fatty acid composition and energy values of Jatropha species were investigated (Banerji et al., 1985; Kandpal and Madan, 1995; Kumar et al., 2003; Pramanik, 2003; Akintayo, 2004; Shah et al., 2004).”
Experimental Investigations on the Effects of Cerium Oxide Nanoparticle Fuel Additives on Biodiesel (2010, methodology): “Using a Jatropha oil-methanol blend as in place of neat Jatropha oil resulted in a slight increase in the brake thermal efficiency, a significant reduction in the exhaust gas temperature and a reduction of HC and CO emissions [16].”
