Abstract :The purpose of this experimental work is to investigate influences of using manganese insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Mn); as a combustion catalysts on apricot seed oil based biodiesel production and its engine out parameters. The metal based additive insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Mn); was added to biodiesel insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(B50); at different dosages of 20-40-60 μmol/L. Also, other additives the propylene glycol and dodecanol were added into apricot seed oil biodiesel insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(B50); at rates of 5% and 1%, respectively for preparing test fuels. This additives improved flash point, pour point and viscosity of the biodiesel insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(B50); fuel. Experiments were carried out to clarify the effects of all additives added to biodiesel on performance and emission characteristics of a three-cylinder DI diesel engine operated at a constant speed of 1500 rpm and different loads from 2,5 to 10 kW. The engine test results revealed that specific fuel consumption, NOx were not changed significantly with the adding additives to biodiesel insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(B50); fuel, while CO, HC and smoke emission profiles were improved.
