The performance of the diesel engines and their exhaust emissions have been experimentally investigated using the produced biodiesel from waste cooking oil as a blend with fossil fuel (B10, B15, and B20) compared to the diesel. The reusability of the catalyst confirmed a high conversion efficiency after 8 cycles of the production. The highest conversion efficiency of the converting waste cooking oil extended to 90.38% with 92.5% maximum mass yield and methyl ester content of 97.7% wt. at the optimized conditions. According to the results, the effective blend for thermal efficiency and specific fuel usage is B15. Also, all emission concentrations decrease with increasing the engine load, especially for B15 fuels compared to diesel oil.}, keywords = {Alternative fuel,Diminish contamination,Eco friendly catalyst,Performance and combustion characteristics,Waste Cooking Oil}, url = {https://ejchem.journals.ekb.eg/article_233907.html}, eprint = {https://ejchem.journals.ekb.eg/article_233907_8fbd9c83bdc478b18696742faf468f97.pdf} }
