Analysis of the Impact of Application of Fuels With Addition of Biocomponents on Functioning of Transport Means

Abstract The study describes a method and a model for assessment of the impact of addition of fatty acid methyl esters to fuel oil on selected parameters of transport means. For this purpose, criteria for assessment of operational parameters of the analyzed mixture have been identified. A model has been developed to find out how the values of the analyzed parameters reflect the state of transport means powered by fuel oil mixtures and methyl esters of fatty acids. Ten operational parameters have been accepted for the research object description. The parameter values were measured depending on the analyzed mixture composition. The obtained results allowed to determine the components of the object state vector. The developed model has been verified by application of the method of mean fuzzy diagram.
