Pure vegetable oils have the greatest promise for alternative fuels for internal combustion engines beside the depletion of conventional petroleum resources. Among various possible options, pure vegetable oils present promising of greener air substitutes for fossil fuels. Pure vegetable oils, due to the agricultural origin, liquidity, ready availability, renewability, biodegradability are able to reduce the CO2 emissions in the atmosphere. Also, in Vietnam, pure vegetable oils such as soybean oil (SoO100), coconut oil (CO100) and sunflower oil (SuO100) are available. The paper presents the results of using heated pure vegetable oils for diesel engine D243 with power of 80 hp (58.88) kW. The results of determining the power (Ne), specific fuel consumption (SFC) and efficiency (n) are used to evaluate the performance of engine. The results show that, the engine power (Ne) is 10%-15% lower, the SFC of engine D243 using pure vegetable oils is 3%-5% higher and the η is 2.5%-6.2% lower compared to diesel oil (DO). Among the pure vegetable oils, the best performance results for D243 diesel engine are obtained from heated pure sunflower oil up to 135oC.

Relationship between polymerised triacylglycerols formation and tocopherols degradation was studied during heating of four commercially accessible vegetable oils (rapeseed oil, classical sunflower oil, soybean oil and olive oil) on the heating plate with temperature 180°C. The content of polymerised triacylglycerols 6% (i.e. half of maximum acceptable content) was achieved after 5.3, 4.2, 4.1, and 2.6 hours of heating for olive oil, soybean oil, rapeseed oil and sunflower oil, respectively, while decrease in content of total tocopherols to 50% of the original content was achieved after 3.4, 1.6, 1.3, and 0.5 hours of heating for soybean oil, rapeseed oil, sunflower oil and olive oil, respectively. Because of the high degradation rate of tocopherols, decrease in content of total tocopherols to 50% of the original content was achieved at content of polymerised triacylglycerols 0.6%, 1.9%, 2.8% and 4.9% for olive oil, rapeseed oil, sunflower oil and soybean oil, respectively, i.e. markedly previous to the frying oil should be replaced.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of coconut oil and different surfactants on stability of nanoemulsions that were prepared by simple homogenization (13,500 rpm, 10 minutes). Coconut oil, sunflower oil and castor oil at the concentration of 20-40% w/w were used as the oil phase. Polysorbate 20, polysorbate 80 and Cremophore RH40 were used as surfactant whereas sorbitan monooleate and polyethylene glycol 400 were used as co-surfactants. The formulations containing coconut oil in the range of 20-40% w/w and the ratio of polysorbate 80 to sorbitan monooleate of 2:1 and 3:1 provided nanosized emulsions (100-500 nm). The zeta potential values ranged from-41.51 to-16.97 mV. The prepared nanoemulsions were stable for at least 7 days at 8 °C. The temperature cycling test (storage at 4 °C for 24 hours and at 45 °C for 24 hours) was performed. It was found that the formulation containing 30% w/w of coconut oil, 22.5% w/w of polysorbate 80 and 7.5% w/w of sorbitan monooleate was stable for 1 cycle. The results indicated that a decrease in the concentration of surfactant and an increase in the concentration of oil affected the stability of nanoemulsions.

Friction And Wear Characteristics

Nowadays environmental awareness issue draws the attention of the scientists; lubricant industry also focuses on environment friendly lubricating oils. Therefore, vegetable oils draw the attention of scientists because of environmental friendly as well as good lubricating characteristics. However, good lubricating vegetable oils often shows inferior property because of low thermal stability, hence, to enhance the performance of vegetable oils self-lubricating diamond like carbon coating is considered, which helps in lowering the friction force which in turn lower friction induced heating, as a result stability of vegetable oils increases. In this current research, three vegetable based oils (sunflower, palm, coconut) are considered as lubricating oil. Tribological tests are conducted by ball on plate tribo-testing machine, tetrahedral type diamond like carbon coated plates and uncoated balls are used in the tribo-pair. Among the testing conditions sunflower oil shows good friction and wear characteristics and coconut oil shows inferior friction and wear characteristics.

The objective in this study was to conduct a technical-economic study of the esterification process of used vegetable oils (UVOs) for the production of biodiesel from the point of view of energy savings achieved by implementing heat exchange networks (HENs). Used vegetable oils (UVOs) can be employed as an input in the production of biodiesel by catalytic transesterification. But, previously it is necessary to reduce its level of free fat acids (FFA) by the acid-catalyzed esterification process in order to prevent undesirable saponification reaction. To carrying out an optimal design of the technology required in the process, simulation tools have an important role for process engineering and optimization of resources. Computer programs such as Aspen PlusTM and Aspen Energy AnalyzerTM provide an environment to perform process modeling and network design optimal heat exchange. In this paper, from the Aspen PlusTM simulation of the process of catalytic esterification in acid medium of UVOs, the technical-economic evaluation process was conducted with and without network of heat exchange in order to analyze the different investment options. The comparison of the two projects (with and without the implementation of HENs) was performed by determining the net present value (NPV). On the scale set for the project, the total cost of the equipment of heat exchange for the esterification process designed with HENs was US$ 4,782.50 higher than the corresponding to the process without HENs application. However, it should be noted that the cost of services decreased by 30% annually, and on the other hand, comparing the process, it was observed that the NPV of the HENs process was 29.5% higher, which leads to the conclusion that the project which includes heat exchange networks is technically and economically feasible.

Sheet metal forming processes allow for production of lightweight and durable goods. For this reason, drawing operations have been widely used across the automotive, aviation and construction industries and for production of various components of machines. Despite the popularity of deep-drawing steel sheet metal, non-ferrous materials, such as aluminium, magnesium and titanium are also used for such purposes. Titanium materials seem to be particularly attractive due to a beneficial ratio of strength to density and excellent corrosion resistance in the most of technological environments. However, titanium and its alloys belong to a group of materials with low tribological properties and tendencies for galling and build-up of layers of the deformed material on the tool surface. Therefore, this study will discuss the results of the investigations concerning selection of technological lubricants based on vegetable oils used for the operation of forming of sheet metal made of commercially pure titanium (Grade 2). The focus of the experiment is on lubricants based on vegetable oils i.e. rapeseed oil, sunflower oil and olive oil. The main lubricating additive was boric acid and stearic acid. The study presents the results of the determination of friction coefficient during a strip drawing test.

Abstract Introduction: Vegetable oils contain natural antioxidants and other properties reported to impart anti-diabetic properties when consumed, in animal study. In humans however, these oils are subjected to high temperatures during cooking before consumption. High temperature tends to affect the characteristic quality and potential to impart on health benefits such as antidiabetic properties. The objective of this work was to determine the characteristics quality of vegetable oils after thermal treatment that equates to temperatures oils are subjected to during food processing/cooking.Methodology: Three portions of 200g of each fresh unrefined red palm oil, coconut oil and groundnut oils in three conical flasks T1, T2 and T3 were heated to room temperature 28oC (T1) to 100o C in boiling water (T2) and to 200o C in electric cooker oven (T3) for 10 minutes. Acid, iodine, peroxide, saponification, unsaponification values of the oils, Phytoconstituents (Flavanoids, polyphenols saponins etc) and antioxidant (Vitamin A&C) and DPPH (1,1-Diphenyl-2-Picrylhydrazyl) Radical Scavenging Activity were then determined after cooling to room temperature. Results: Coconut oil heated to 200˚C had the least Acid value of 2.89±0.135 whiles Palm oil heated to 100 ˚C had the highest value of 19.57±0.165. There were no peroxides formed in Coconut and Palm oils at 28 ˚C as well as Palm oil at 100 ˚C. However, peroxides were highest in Coconut oil at 200˚C with value of 15.28±2.315. Saponification value of groundnut oil at 28 ˚C was the least at 89.52 ± 2.18 and 296.57±1.045 the highest in coconut oil at 200 ˚C. Heating however increased the unsaponifiable matter in all the vegetable oils used. Total antioxidant capacity was not significantly changed across the temperature treatment. Total phenolic content was not significantly changed for palm oil but was significantly increased at 100C for coconut and groundnut oilsConclusion: The quality of the oils in terms of acid value, iodine vale, peroxide value and saponification value, total antioxidant and phenolic content were retained after one heat treatment. This implies the quality of the oils are maintained after a single heating. The oils may still retain antidiabetic property when consumed after processing.

The article is devoted to the study of technologies for the use of used motor and vegetable oils for hydrophobizing treatment of birch wood. In this work, synthetic and semi-synthetic engine oil is used to impregnate wood; spent corn oil, sunflower oil, organosilicon liquid GKZh-11, industrial impregnating composition of ZhTK. The effectiveness of the impregnating compositions is estimated by the indicators of water absorption and swelling in two mutually perpendicular directions (radial, tangential). Spent motor and vegetable oils saturate wood quite well and give it hydrophobic properties. At the same time, impregnation of birch wood with used engine oil (OMM) allows to improve water absorption of birch wood by 52.1% compared to natural wood and by 21% compared to water absorption. Thus, the processing of birch wood with used motor and vegetable oils makes it possible to utilize production waste and improve the properties of low-value wood species with a significant increase in its resistance to external influences.
