TL;DR: This study compares the performance and emission properties of diesel and linseed biodiesel blends in a variable compression ratio engine, finding that a 20% linseed biodiesel blend with 80% diesel exhibits maximum performance and reduced emissions at 16.5:1 compression ratio.
Okra (Hibiscus esculentus) seed oil for biodiesel production
TL;DR: In this article, a bio-diesel was derived from okra seed oil by methanol-induced transesterification using an alkali catalyst, which achieved 96.8% of okra oil methyl esters yield.
A simple pseudo-homogeneous reversible kinetic model for the esterification of different fatty acids with methanol in the presence of Amberlyst-15
TL;DR: In this article, the kinetic behavior of the reversible esterification of lauric, myristic, palmitic and stearic acids, which are the most common saturated fatty acids that are contained in triglyceride feedstocks for biodiesel, with methanol at different temperatures (70-150 °C) and molar ratios of the reactants (1:1-1-2-5) was investigated in a batch laboratory basket reactor both in the presence and absence of Amberlyst-15 as the catalyst.
Experimental and modeling studies of small typical methyl esters pyrolysis: Methyl butanoate and methyl crotonate
TL;DR: In this paper, two C4 fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) were investigated, namely methyl butanoate (MB) and methyl crotonate (MC), and a comprehensive kinetic model was developed, and applied to validate against the new experimental data.

Biodiesel from microalgae.
TL;DR: As demonstrated here, microalgae appear to be the only source of renewable biodiesel that is capable of meeting the global demand for transport fuels.
