Abstract
The concern with the global warming and the renewable fuel search has made many studies emerge addressing this topic and the use of sustainable energy to cover the human need has been growing a reason for study. Improve the thermal efficiency is a kind of fuel economy that comes upon to the reduction of the generating greenhouse effect gases emission, as well as producing fuel from a renewable source is something of extreme importance for the future. Here, we will address the thermal efficiency alterations happened in a diesel internal combustion engine, which was originally prepared to operate with Diesel S500, when we use it without any change of motor regulation, different fuels, as the S10, the Fornesano and this fuels blend. Fornesano is a new fuel produced from sugar cane, through the fermentation by a bacterium developed in laboratory, which produces oil, not alcohol, in its fermentation. This bacterium created by Amyris, a US company, allows us work with a renewable fuel produced from non-competing cultivation with human being feeding. To this end, we use a generator group, that will produce electric energy which will be consumed by a resistive system, in this case, incandescent lamps, where will be obtained the power generated to calculate the desired thermal efficiency in this study.
