    • Biodiesel production from rubber seed oil using activated cement clinker as catalyst 

      Jolius, Gimbun; Shahid, Ali; Chitra Charan Suri Charan, Kanwal; Liyana Amer, Shah; Nurul Hidayah, Muhamad @ Ghazali; Chin, Kui Cheng; Said, Nurdin (Malaysian Technical Universities Network (MTUN), 2012-11-20)
      This paper presents the potential of limestone based catalyst for transesterification of high free fatty acid (FFA) rubber seed oil (RSO). Pre-calcinated limestone known as clinker was activated using methanol and ...

    • Biodiesel reactor optimization using combined CFD-Taguchi method 

      Nabeel A., Adeyemi; A. K. M., Mohiuddin; Tariq, Jameel (Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)Centre for Graduate Studies, 2010-10-16)
      Biodiesel is currently produced from food and non food oil sources through transesterification. The process is significantly constrained by reaction kinetics and mass transfer. In the present article, the transesterification ...

    • Characterization of biodiesel produced from palm oil via base catalyzed transesterification 

      Eman N., Ali; Cadence, Isis Tay (Malaysian Technical Universities Network (MTUN), 2012-11-20)
      Biodiesel is a notable alternative to the widely used petroleum-derived diesel fuel since it can be generated by domestic natural resources such as palm oil, soybeans, rapeseeds, coconuts and even recycled cooking oil. ...

    • Comparative engine performance of DI pick-up diesel engine tested by mixing metal oxide and bio-solution additives in diesel fuel and palm biodiesel blends(B5) 

      K. Fangsuwannarak; K. Triratanasirichai (Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)Pusat Pengajian Kejuruteraan Mekatronik, 2012-02-27)
      In this paper, engine performance of pickup diesel engine was studied under chassis dynamometer test with the simulation of road load condition. A direct injection engine was examined by mixing different multi-functional ...

    • Deterministic and stochastic models of automotive engine fuelled with palm biodiesel 

      Azuwir, Mohd Noor; Mohd Zaki, Abdulmuin, Prof. Dr.; Abdul Hamid, Adom, Prof. Madya Dr. (Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)Centre for Graduate Studies, 2010-10-16)
      In this paper, two types of dynamic model for automotive diesel engine fuelled with palm biodiesel (Palm Oil Methyl Ester) are being developed using a black box technique. Assuming a discrete time form for the system ...

    • Fuel physical characteristics of biodiesel blend fuels with alcohol as additives 

      Mohd Hafizil, Mat Yasin; Rizalman, Mamat; Ahmad Fitri, Yusop; Rafidah, Rahim; Amir, Aziz; Liyana, Amer Shah (Malaysian Technical Universities Network (MTUN), 2012-11-20)
      Biodiesel and its alcohol blend fuels are considered as alternatives to current fossilized fuels. Their fuel physical characteristics are among the most important parameter to determine the quality of each fuel. Strict ...

    • Prospect of Biodiesel production from Algae as a renewable energy source in Sarawak 

      Abu Saleh, Ahmed; Ricky Stu, Anding; Sinin, Hamdan; ABM Sharif, Hossain; Syed Tarmizi, Syed Shazali (Universiti Malaysia Perlis, 2009-10-11)
      Biodiesel (monoalkyl esters) is one of the alternative fuels, which is obtained by transesterification of triglyceride oil with monohydric alcohols. Many research works have been reported on the use of biodiesel obtained ...
