“…Lessening in EGT for B10FFO100, B20FFO100, and B30FFO100 nano-fuels was found to be 14.05%, 19.47%, and 24.5% with respect to B10, B20 and B30 non-additive blends correspondingly. Similar results were also recorded in earlier investigations of Khan et al [35] and Purushothaman et al [61].…”

In recent years, industries have been investing to develop a potential alternative fuel to substitute the depleting fossil fuels which emit noxious emissions. Present work investigated the effect of ferrous ferric oxide nano-additive on performance and emission parameters of compression ignition engine fuelled with chicken fat methyl ester blends. The nano-additive was included with various methyl ester blends at different ppm of 50, 100, and 150 through the ultrasonication process. Probe sonicator was utilized for nano-fuel preparation to inhibit the formation of agglomeration of nanoparticles in base fuel. Experimental results revealed that the addition of 100 ppm dosage of ferrous ferric oxide nanoparticles in blends significantly improves the combustion performance and substantially decrease the pernicious emissions of the engine. It is also found from an experimental results analysis that brake thermal efficiency (BTE) improved by 4.84%, a reduction in brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) by 10.44%, brake specific energy consumption (BSEC) by 9.44%, exhaust gas temperature (EGT) by 19.47%, carbon monoxides (CO) by 53.22%, unburned hydrocarbon (UHC) by 21.73%, nitrogen oxides (NOx) by 15.39%, and smoke by 14.73% for the nano-fuel B20FFO100 blend. By seeing of analysis, it is concluded that the doping of ferrous ferric oxide nano-additive in chicken fat methyl ester blends shows an overall development in engine characteristics.

“…For uniform dispersion at low loading levels, the effective thermal conductivity can be estimated by the effective medium theory or many other classical models [124], which generally predict that the effective thermal conductivity is positively dependent on the volumetric fraction of the added fillers. It was often observed that increasing temperature is favorable for intensifying interparticle collision and local convection heat transfer, and thus is helpful for improving the effective heat conductivity [125]. In general, self-dispersible nanofluids should possess better heat transfer performance than the surface-modified nanofluids as the surface-capping agents typically have a low thermal conductivity and limit interparticle collision heat transfer.…”

“…However, research work is still required to bring this new technology from lab experiments to large-scale production and attract investments from the industrial sector. The commercialization of NF-based DASCs will depend on completely resolving issues such as the instability of NFs, high costs and the synthesis complexity of nanomaterials [125], increased pumping power and the appearance of mechanical erosion and chemical corrosion due to deposition of NPs on the inner surfaces of flow channels [126], in addition to possible environmental concerns [127,128]. An in-depth understanding is required for sedimentation, agglomeration, morphological transformations, and the chemical deterioration of NPs in base fluids over long periods of operation, at elevated temperatures, and under thermal and solar cycling processes, as these factors are all critical to the optical, thermal, and rheological properties of NFs.…”

“…30 Indeed, metal oxides such as aluminum (Al 2 O 3 ), titanium (TiO 2 ), copper (CuO), and others have been observed to aid in the catalytic burning of hydrocarbon fuels. [31][32][33] As a result, adding these additives to biodiesel fuels can improve fuel attributes such as radiative mass transfer, reduced ignition delay, and self-ignition conditions inside the combustion zone. Kao et al 34 investigated the addition of Al 2 O 3 nano-particles into biodiesel blends on a single-cylinder diesel engine utilizing 3% and 6% volume aluminum nanoparticles separately in diesel.…”

The increasing demand, rapid consumption, price increase, limited reserves, and environmental concern due to pollution produced by conventional fossil fuel (diesel & gasoline) are a few reasons why biofuels need to be explored. The present paper employs a systematic methodology to examine the performance of a 20% volumetric blend of Sal biodiesel (S20) blended with diesel using α-aluminium oxide (α-Al2O3) nanoparticles (NP) as additives and is compared with a diesel under like circumstances. The central composite design, Box-Behnken design (BBD) based response surface methodology, and desirability tests are used in the organized experiments on a diesel engine configuration to facilitate calibration. The created multivariate regression model yields all of the best engine inputs. Interaction effects are used to determine the most influential element by observing the interaction of two distinct input factors on a single response. According to the desirability tests, the highest estimated desirability was 0.579; the optimal input parameters found are 21°bTDC injection timing (IT), 238 bar injection pressure (IOP), 17 compression ratio (CR), and 74 ppm concentration of α-Al2O3NP, estimated the optimized response of brake thermal efficiency (BHTE) 31.18%, brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) 0.2975 kg/kWh, carbon monoxide (CO) 0.0887%, hydrocarbon (HC) 31 ppm, oxide of nitrogen (NOx) 677 ppm, and smoke level 54.92%. These predicted values were validated with experimental results, and errors were within the range. The nanoparticle combination sample offers improved brake thermal efficiency (BTHE) and lower BSFC rate than the S20 while testing for the optimal parametric condition.
