Biodiesel vs. Diesel Oil in a Marine Engine: A Thermodynamic Study
Laboratoire des Sciences et Ingénierie Maritimes, Faculté de Génie Mécanique, Université des Sciences et de la Technologie Mohamed BOUDIAF d'Oran (USTO-MB), BP 1505 Oran El-M'naouar, 31000 Oran, Algérie

The present comparative study deals primarily with the thermodynamic performances of the traditional fuel being used in shipping propulsion, Diesel oil and one of its alternatives, namely, the biodiesel. A thermodynamic model was developed based on the first and second law of thermodynamics. It was found that the engine running on biodiesel registers a slight improvement of its performances compared with the one running on Diesel oil in all the departments considered in this study.
