“…Researchers are still finding methods to enhance the performance of the solar panel in different wavelength of light source. Energy generation from solar [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32], wind [33][34][35][36], and biomass [37][38][39][40][41][42][43] have advantages and disadvantages. Similarly, Hydropower has pros and cons [44][45][46].…”

Solar energy is quite simple as the energy can be obtained from the sun directly. Solar energy is categorized as one of the best renewable energy since it does not emit carbon dioxide and because of unlimited supports from the sun. In this paper, three main sections of solar technologies like photovoltaicsolar panel, concentrating solar power, heating and cooling system that is available present days have been investigated. In the second part of this research, an experiment has been carried out to evaluate the effects of colors of light on the performance of solar photovoltaic panels. Different colors of light having different wavelength, resulting in different frequency and hence different energy. In general, the solar spectrum influences the performance of the solar panels. The results show that the solar panels are influenced more by the red color of light. This report will start by detailing the three main solar technologies, followed by the testing on the colors of light with the solar panels

“…The carbon dioxide emissions were found to decrease with increase in the load as the percentage of energy efficiency increased. Addition of alcohol to the blends led to the reduction of the C/H ratio in the fuel blends, which, in turn, reduced the emissions [17]. At relatively higher tested loads, 0.6 MPa, all the fuels tended to have nearly similar amounts of emissions.…”

“…Lower peak in-cylinder pressure, maximum heat release rate (HRR max ) and longer combustion duration are observed in biofuels. Combustion noise and vibrations from biofuels are also found to be lower [17]. Blending biodiesel with diesel fuel lowered the emissions but increased the fuel consumption with minimum effect on efficiency [18][19][20][21].…”

“…The benefits are limited, and different problems emerge when a single alternative fuel is used [30]. Scientists suggest that sustainability can be achieved by using fuel blends to balance the performance and emission characteristics [7,17,[31][32][33][34]. Recent research reveals that using alcohols and biodiesels is one of the primary ways to decrease the emissions that disturb the environment [22,[35][36][37][38].…”

Comparison of Research Data of Diesel–Biodiesel–Isopropanol and Diesel–Rapeseed Oil–Isopropanol Fuel Blends Mixed at Different Proportions on a CI Engine

Depletion in the levels of fossil fuels and increasing environmental concerns associated with the rise in consumption of conventional fuels are among the top global concerns. Finding an alternative sustainable fuel that matches the performance characteristics of diesel/petrol fuels as well as decreases the exhaust emissions has been a challenging task. After deliberate research, it is found that every alternative fuel is associated with different problems when they are used independently, thereby limiting its benefits. Scientists suggest that using different fuel blends might lead to sustainability. This article is the analysis of data obtained from the experimentation based on two different alternative fuels, Rapeseed Methyl Ester (RME)-based biodiesel and Rapeseed Oil (RO), blended with diesel (D) and Isopropanol (P) into three different proportions each. Tests were carried out in a compression ignition (CI) engine, and comparisons are based on the resulted performance and exhaust emission characteristics. The two different alternative fuels are blended into the following proportions to make six fuel mixtures, D50RME30P20, D50RME40P10, D50RME45P5, D50RO30P20, D50RO40P10 and D50RO45P5. The tests are carried out at different loads (BMEP) and are compared to that of pure diesel. Using the experimentation results, we also obtained the combustion characteristics of all fuel mixtures for further evaluation

“…To put it another way, the C-H chain of conventional fuels may be changed as a consequence of the inclusion of these additives, leading in the formation of new polymer chains. Methanol and ethanol are the two most often used alcoholic fluids in internal combustion engines [2]. Finished additives and performance additives are the two types of fuel additives that may be used with gasoline.…”

The sophisticated technology being used in automotive technology, as well as the increased use of vehicles, enables the engine to operate on a variety of alternative fuels. Natural or synthetic carbon-based connections are responsible for the formation of ethanol. They may be produced from a variety of sources, including agricultural feedstock, local crops, and even agricultural trash and waste products. Because they are in the form of a renewable resource, they may be employed in a variety of applications, including IC engines, where they can be used as fuel or as an addition, depending on their composition. It is possible to dramatically improve the performance of gasoline engines using a novel mix of nanoadditives, ethanol, and gasoline while simultaneously reducing the negative environmental impact. An ethanol-gasoline combination was used to power the engine in this work, which examined the effects of the alumina nanoaddition. Results reveal that thermal efficiency can be improved by up to 17% while fuel consumption can be reduced by up to 16% on a volume basis, indicating a considerable improvement over the basic engine. Also validated was a decrease in dangerous carbon monoxide emissions of as much as 14%, a reduction in unburned hydrocarbon emissions of 18.5%, and a significant reduction in oxygen of as much as 18%.
