AB - Biodiesel is an alternative fuel for diesel engines which doesn’t contain  pollutants and sulfur; on the contrary it contains oxygen. In addition, both  physical and chemical properties of sunflower oil methyl ester (SME) are  identical to diesel fuel. Conversely, diesel and biodiesel fuels are widely  used with some additives to reduce viscosity, increase the amount of cetane,  and improve combustion efficiency. This study uses diesel fuel, SME and its  mixture with aviation fuel JetA-1 which are widely used in the aviation  industry. . Fuel mixtures were used in 1-cylinder, 4-stroke diesel engine  under full load and variable engine speeds. In this experiment, engine  performance and emission level are investigated. As a conclusion, as the  JetA-1 ratio increases in the mixture, lower nitrogen oxide (NOx) emission is  measured. Also, specific fuel consumption is lowered.
