Abstract
As a renewable, sustainable, and alternative fuel for CI engine, researchers are more prone to accept biodiesel as fuel compared to diesel. Several reasons such as decreasing the dependency on imported petroleum, decreasing global warming improvement in lubricity, and reduction in exhaust gas emission were promoted to accept. However, some disadvantages such as lower heating value, higher (viscosity, density surface tension, brakes specific fuel consumption, NOx) made to limit the use of biodiesel. In this present review, atomization process for injector outlet geometry, variable injection condition, preheated fuel is included to focus the most recent findings in research. The discussion exhibited that nozzle having elliptical cross-section geometry showed enhanced spray characteristics followed by equilateral and conical geometry for both diesel and biodiesel. Further, preheating of biodiesel exhibited reduction in rheological properties of biodiesel and that causes improvement in efficiency and reduction in emission due to better spray characteristics.
