Abstract

Due to the serious problems encountered because of the extensive use of first-generation biofuels, second generation biofuels are presented as one of the best possible alternatives conventional fuels from oil. This paper presents a theoretical study of the performance of diesel engines fueled with hydrotreated bio-oil from lignocellulosic biomass, which is a second generation biofuel. For this, a thermodynamic zero-dimensional combustion model simulation was carried out, which predicts the performance parameters of the engine. This model was validated against experimental data of two diesel engines fueled with diesel-biodiesel  and  diesel/hydrotreated  bio-oil  blends, and  a  good  correlation between simulated and experimental data was observed, with average relative errors in pressure peak values of 0.5 and 1%, respectively. The results show that hydrotreated bio-oil in small proportions could become a partial substitute for conventional diesel fuel.
