In this study, the nano biochar derived from sugarcane was added with custard seed biodiesel (CBD) at different concentrations of 25 and 50 ppm to assist the emission and performance pattern of a compression ignition engine. The study monitored harmful gases, namely, hydrocarbon (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxide (NO), and smoke as emission parameters and investigated brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) and brake thermal efficiency (BTE) as performance parameters are analyzed at diverse loads by altering the concentration the biochar with CBD and compared with diesel. Experimental results revealed that the biochar addition at 50 ppm to CBD reduced smoke emission by 1.9%, CO by 0.005%, and HC by 6 ppm at all top load conditions with 71 ppm higher NO. Further, biochar addition at 50 ppm to CBD enhances the brake thermal efficiency by 0.7% and lower brake specific fuel consumption by 0.4 kg/kWh.

“…The experimental findings exhibited that the addition of Ag 2 O particles to POME enhanced the combustion characteristics due to the increased surface area. Besides, the addition of Ag 2 O nanoparticles to POME resulted in enhanced brake thermal efficiency [46]. The findings also indicated that Ag 2 O nanoparticles improved the emission levels of smoke, NO x , HC, and CO [46].…”

Comprehensive Review on Biodiesel Production from Palm Oil Mill Effluent

Biodiesel synthesis processes including pyrolysis, direct blending, transesterification, and advanced technologies such as microwave-and ultrasoundassisted and supercritical processes from palm oil mill effluent (POME) are reviewed to highlight the significance and advances in terms of process sustainability and cost. POME as the most contaminated waste can be effectively utilized for biodiesel production. Supercritical transesterification offers more advantages over the other processes including higher reaction rate, without catalyst constraint, producing pure glycerol, and simple product separation process. The addition of co-solvents like CO 2 should be investigated for supercritical biodiesel production from POME. Although POME is an inexpensive source to synthesize biodiesel, innovative processes are needed to maximize the oil recovery from POME. Optimization of transesterification parameters is required for high production yields and sustainable processing.

“…The peak cylinder pressure is recorded as 74.69 bar by diesel fuel due to the lower viscosity, higher calori c value whereas B20 accounts 74.39 bar which is lower than diesel owing to higher viscosity and lower calori c value. (Devarajan et al 2018) The addition of nano particles with B20 helps to increase the cylinder pressure. It may be due to shorter ignition delay, higher calori c vale and higher heat transfer rate of nano particles.…”

In present scenario, the fast depletion of fossil fuels and energy crises motivated the researchers towards finding an alternative sources for energy. In this work, the performance, combustion and emission of hydrothermally synthesized ZnO nanoparticles dispersed waste cooking oil biodiesel in single cylinder, four stroke, Direct Injection- Diesel Engine with eddy current dynamometer was investigated. The synthesized ZnO nano particles were characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM and EDX to find crystallinity, functional groups and surface morphology. Waste cooking oil biodiesel was produced via conventional one step alkali catalyst Trans-esterification process. Test fuels were prepared with dispersion of ZnO nanoparticles in the concentration of 10ppm, 20ppm and 30ppm with B20 (20% waste cooking oil biodiesel and 80% diesel) with the aid of magnetic stirrer and ultra-sonication. The test results exposed that the addition of ZnO nanoparticles with B20 gave better Performance in terms of BTE and BSFC compared to B20. The addition of ZnO nano particles with 30ppm concentration was identified as better fuel among all tested fuels in this work. 30ppm addition of ZnO nano particles with B20 records 1.78 % increase in BTE and 10.34% decrease in BSFC. The emission like CO, HC and smoke were 20%, 15.4% and 17.39% lower than diesel. On the other hand NOx was slightly higher than diesel but lower than B20.
