Abstract

Biodiesel is a renewable alternative fuel that produces lower exhaust emissions with the exception of nitrogen oxides (NOx) when compared to conventional diesel fuel. Fuel blend information is useful during engine operation for optimizing emissions and performance. Therefore, online estimation of biofuel content is a critical step in allowing diesel engines to maintain performance while simultaneously meeting emission requirements when operating on biodiesel blends. Presented in this paper is a model-based biodiesel blend estimation strategies using crankshaft torsionals. A sensitivity analysis investigation is conducted for the method to quantify robustness of the proposed fuel blend estimation methods.
