Air-Fuel Ratio Calculation and Lambda (λ) Analysis for Biodiesel Oils Combustion

Abstract

This paper discusses the study of biodiesel types such as canola oil, corn oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil and biodiesel. The paper covers composition, balance of equations, air-fuel ratio calculation, and lambda analysis for the combustion of these biodiesel types. This includes detailed information on the mathematical conversions required to convert weight per cent to molar per cent and subsequent estimation of the elemental concentrations in biodiesel. The figures are also presented. In addition, it focuses on other works related to the composition, characterization, and production of biodiesel.  The research paper provides a comprehensive review of biodiesel types, composition and associated temperatures. It provides valuable insight into the chemical composition of canola oil, corn oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil and biodiesel, which is essential to understanding the potential of alternative fuels.
