“…Furthermore, biodiesel offers compensations regarding engine wear, cost and availability [14,15]. Pollutants produced are less harmful comparatively [16,17]. Biodiesel has low sulphur content, low aromatic content and oxygen containing compounds due to which the emissions of SO2, CO2, HC and PM are reduced.…”

In this work, biodiesel obtained from the transesterfication of Jatropha seeds and Fish wastes is used as an alternative fuel to diesel in stationary single cylinder diesel engines. The biodiesel obtained has good ignition ability due to its relatively high cetane number compared to that of conventional diesel fuel. The performance, combustion and emission tests using Jatropha Oil Methyl Ester (JOME), Fish Oil Methyl Ester (FOME) and their blends (20% JOME and 20% FOME) with diesel were carried out at constant speed and variable loads condition. The results showed that both blends could be used as fuels for diesel engine without any major modification on the engine. Carbon monoxide (CO), UBHC and smoke emissions were observed to be lesser at all loads for both the blends compared to diesel fuel, while NOx emission was slightly higher. JOME blend was found to be better than FOME blend.

This paper focused on thermal conductivity and viscosity of deionised water and ethylene glycol-based nanofluids at three different temperatures (6C, 25C and 40C). For the preparation of nanofluids, a two-step method, comprised of homogenisation and sonication, was used on a mixture of MWCNT-OH, PVP and the base fluid. The results revealed that thermal conductivity was enhanced by about 8.86% for 0.8 wt% deionised water-based MWCNT-OH nanofluid, and by 5.37% for 0.2 wt% ethylene glycol-based MWCNT-OH nanofluid. Meanwhile, in viscosity test, the highest temperature of 40C exhibited lowest viscosity. This phenomenon happened only with ethylene glycol-based nanofluid, whilst the data on the viscosity of deionised water-based nanofluid was inconsistent at certain nanofluid concentrations . In conclusion, addition of MWCNT-OH into base fluid enhanced base fluid performance , giving it the potential to be used in cooling system applications.

In this study, the effect of fuel injection timing on the performance of a diesel engine was investigated experimentally and analytically using diesel-biodiesel blends. Different experiments were carried out on the diesel engine at engine speeds of 1200, 1600, 2000 and 2400 rpm. The injection timing was regulated for 10, 15 and 20 degree crank angle before top dead centre. The experimental results of engine torque, brakespecific fuel consumption (BSFC), cylinder pressure, and exhaust gas temperature for fuel blends of B20, B40, and B100 at different engine speeds and injection timings were recorded. The results showed that advancing the fuel injection timing for fuel blends of B20, B40, and B100 increased engine torque by approximately 2.1%, 2.9% and 6.3%, respectively, and decreased maximum BSFC by approximately 2.7%, 3.3% and 6.6%, respectively. Then, an artificial neural network (ANN) was used to predict engine performance. The injection timing, engine speed, and fuel blends were used as input parameters whereas engine performance parameters such as engine torque, BSFC, peak cylinder pressure, and exhaust gas temperature were used as the output parameters. The results showed that an ANN is a good tool to predict engine performance.
