The Exergy Analysis for Marine Diesel Engines Using Biodiesel as Fuel

Ships are important air pollution sources since on board high powered engines usually run with heavy fuels. There are two types of engines on board the ships: main engines and auxiliary engines. Usually, the main engines are a slow speed or medium speed diesel engine. The awareness of energetic and environmental problems pushed investigations towards the search of alternative fuels. This paper analysis chemical and physical properties of biodiesel. An exergy analysis carried out on diesel engines using this kind of alternative fuel, for a power rating from 60-480 kW, enables to evaluate quantitatively the causes of thermodynamical imperfections.
