Biodiesel is well known for an eco-friendly alternative fuel for petrodiesel. But biodiesel has a disadvantage since it is derived from expensive food resource. In this study, we synthesized the biodiesel from duck's oil which was food trash via transesterification under base catalyst. After analytic result of density, kinematic viscosity, cold temperature characteristics, lubricity and cetane number which were main fuel characteristics, this duck's biodiesel has enough potential to use as fuel except only domestic winter season.

Recently we have a growing interest in environmental pollution and alternative energy. Diesel engine is generally used to produce the power on shore and sea. However, the combustion characteristics and exhaust emissions of the engine are changed on account of the wear of fuel system and the altered ambient condition of the combustion chamber by the increment of the engine operation hour. Therefore the combustion characteristics and exhaust emissions on the fuel injection timing were experimentally investigated to find out the optimum fuel injection timing in case of the about 20 years used diesel engine using biodiesel blend oil. The original fuel injection timing of the engine is BTDC $22^{\circ}$ CA. However, it is found that the optimum fuel injection as a result of analyzing the specific oil consumption and exhaust emissions of 20 years used the engine is BTDC $26^{\circ}$ CA.

Biodiesel and its blend fuels from soybean oil were characterized for their oxidation to apply automobile fuel from the analysis of FAME (fatty acid methyl ester) and chemical properties. Biodiesel produced from soybean oil contained unsaturated fatty acids (> 85 wt%) such as oleic acid, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid. Especially, polyunsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid and linolenic acid containing active methyl radical were over 60 wt%. It is believed that linoleic acid and linolenic acid cause oxidation. Linoleic acid and linolenic acid during oxidation were major reactants, and compounds with the carbon number having around 36 (boiling point of about $500^{\circ}C$) were produced from those of radical autoxidation.

The demand of biodiesel that is a renewable, alternative fuel for fossil-based petrodiesel seems to keep increasing. Exploiting lipids of microalgae as a raw material for biodiesel is already technically feasible. To realize economical production of microalgal biodiesel, several factors or strategies should be addressed and improved. Especially, researches on improvement of lipid synthesis by genetic or metabolic engineering are now in early stage, and prospects of this field are bright, requiring concerns and interests of many researchers to put practical use of microalgal biodiesel forward.

This experiment was undertaken to investigate the atomization characteristics of the high viscosity biodiesel blended fuel and ultrasonic energy irradiation one. Test fuels were conventional diesel fuel and biodiesel one. We compared to the characteristics of viscosity and surface tension, SMD between high viscosity biodiesel blended fuel and ultrasonic energy irradiation one. Sauter mean diameter was measured under the variation of the spray distance. Viscosity and surface tension were measured under the variation of the time trace. To measure the droplet size, we used the Malvern system 2600c. Droplet size distribution was analyzed from the result data of Malvern system. Through this experiment, we found that the condition of the ultrasonic energy irradiation situation had smaller Sauter mean diameter of droplet, viscosity and surface tension than those of the conventional situation.

Development of biofuels like ethanol and biodiesel for commercial uses is a recent phenomenon. However, the growth of ethanol and biodiesel has been impressive during the period 2000-2007yr. Globally, production of biodiesel stands around 8.3 billion liters. Europe leads the world in biodiesel production with 80% share of the global biodiesel production total. Today biodiesel fuels have been in commercial use in many countries and recently the world-wide biodiesel market has experienced considerable growth, which is partly due to various tax concession programs and other financial incentives. In Korea, biodiesel has already been used for transportation fuel, but not used for power generation fuel yet. Korean government has a strategy for renewable energy propagation, especially the goal of power generation amount by renewable energy is 3% of total power production by 2012. This paper focuses on the estimation study for effect of using biodiesel as power generation fuel. The study also has the plan to replace the fuel of thermal power plant, gas turbine and distributed power generation system. As the increase of biodiesel fuel, I look forward to environment-friendly power generation and the strategy of Renewable Portfolio Standards(RPS).

In this study, the characteristics of exhaust gas as a function of the biodiesel mixing ratio were investigated. Diesel and waste oil were used for preparing mixed fuel, and the ratios of the mixed fuel were varied in the BD3~BD100 range. The injection pressures(${\Delta}p_{inj}$) was considered as an experimental variable and was set to 400 bar, 600 bar, 800 bar, 1000 bar, and 1200 bar. Furthermore, for quantitatively analyzing the characteristics of exhaust gas(NOx and Soot), the concepts of Pearson correlation coefficient and Spearman rank-order correlation coefficient based on statistics were introduced. Consequently, it was found that the correlation of the emission of NOx and Soot is linear, and the Pearson and Spearman coefficients are -0.732 and -0.724, respectively, under all analysis conditions. Especially, for the injection pressure of 800 bar, a simultaneous reduction in NOx and Soot emission is possible by controlling the biodiesel mixing ratio. This is because the correlation coefficients of NOx and Soot emissions were nearly 0, as the Pearson correlation coefficient was -0.089.

Diesel engines are most suitable for biodiesel fuel because diesel fuel has a higher cetane number compared to gasoline and diesel engines have no spark ignition system; hence, engine conversion is easy and cost effective. For these reasons, in this study, the spray behavior characteristics of vegetable palm oil were analyzed by using a common-rail injection system of a commercial diesel engine, and the results were compared with those obtained for the diesel fuel. The injection pressures and blend ratios of palm oil and diesel fuel (BD3, BD5, BD20, BD30, BD50, and BD100) were the main parameters. The experiments were conducted for different injection pressures-500 bar, 1000 bar, 1500 bar, and 1600 bar-by setting the injection duration at $500{\mu}s$. We determined there is no significant difference in the macro characteristics of the spray behavior (spray penetration and spray angle) in response to any change in the blend ratio of palm oil and diesel fuel at a fixed injection pressure. In particular, all experiments showed a spray angle of approximately $15^{\circ}$.
