Popis: This study evaluates the influence on the combustion process, fuel consumption, and polluting emissions in a diesel engine, which operates with biodiesel from soybean oil and water emulsions with percentages of 4% and 8%. For this study, a stationary diesel engine operating at four different torque conditions and a fixed rotation speed of 3400 rpm is used. Test fuels are diesel, soybean oil biodiesel, and SB4W and SB8W water emulsions. The results indicate that SB4W and SB8W cause a 6% reduction in calorific value and an 18% and 1% increase in viscosity and density. However, the presence of water in biodiesel can help reduce engine BSFC by 8%. The SB4W and SB8W allow a 23% reduction in NOx emissions. With the use of SB4W fuel, a reduction of 16%, 29%, and 14% in CO, HC, and smoke opacity is obtained compared to soybean oil biodiesel. The maximum inclusion of 8% water in soybean oil biodiesel is recommended since a higher percentage can cause the presence of incomplete combustions.
