“…Second-generation biodiesel is derived from nonedible feedstocks such as Jatropha curcas , Calophyllum inophyllum , Mahua indica , karanja, neem, rubber seed, Thevetia peruviana , Nag Champa and many more. Even though they are derived from nonedible feedstocks, these biodiesels are very high in viscosity and have some potential barriers including gum formation during combustion inside the combustion chamber, lower heat carrying capacity, and auto-oxidation, and they also reduce the durability of the engine. , Moreover, these biodiesels require a secondary process to reduce the viscosity, but during the secondary process, only a very reduced quantity of the fuel is obtained because of the operational and reactive parameters of the process . Using alcohol for this transesterification process, the calorific value of the fuel is also reduced, which may be one of the biggest barriers to changing the property of the fuel; this is due to the lower latent heat of vaporization of alcohol …”

Under the roof of solid industrialization and accelerated intensification of multiple ranges of mobilization, a huge rise in precious fuel consumption and pollution was observed. Based on the recent hardships of fossil fuels, experts are undoubtedly eager in carrying out their research in renewable environment-friendly fuels. There have been many reviews of works considering the parameters and standards of biodiesel, which is only from various vegetable and seed oils. But very little review work was carried out on only plant-based biofuel. Plant-based fuel has a lower viscosity and higher volatility properties. The target of this review was to make a bridge to overcome these research gaps. This review extensively studies the biological background, production outcome, properties, and reliability of plant-based biofuel and also deeply investigates the feasibility of usage in a diesel engine. From deep investigation it was identified that most of the low viscous fuel had higher brake thermal efficiency (BTE) (2% to 4%) and NOx emission (5% to 10%) than high viscous biodiesel. The formation of hydrocarbon (HC), CO, and smoke emission was similar to high viscous biodiesel. Overall, the low viscous fuel effectively improves the engine behaviors.

Diesel engines are particularly harmful to the environment due to the high levels of pollution they release. This led to the discovery of a sustainable and environmentally friendly fuel source. Mahua oil transesterified into biofuel seems to be the most popular option. The possibilities for nano-additions to enhance engine performance while simultaneously lowering pollution levels are substantial. In this research, 20% by proportion mahua biodiesel (MAH B20) was mixed with varying concentrations of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and cerium oxide (CeO2) nanoparticles, and their joint effects on a mono-cylinder diesel engine working at a speed of 1500 revolutions per minute (rpm) were evaluated. With the use of an ultrasonic bath, the nanoparticles and MAH B20 were blended at varying concentrations and a surfactant was added for stability. The investigations concluded that the combustion and emission properties of mahua biofuel were improved because of the higher volume to surface area ratio of the combined Al2O3 and CeO2 nanostructures. The best results are found when mahua biofuel is mixed with Al2O3 and CeO2 each at 100 parts per million (ppm). The blend MAH B20 AL100 CE100 exhibits reduced brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) by 3.25%, increased brake thermal efficiency (BTE) by 1.39%, and reduced emissions of hydrocarbon (HC), oxides of nitrogen (NOX), and carbon monoxide (CO) by 30.73, 1.27, and 44.13%, respectively.

“…Abdallah et al [3] observed 50 ppm of various metal oxides like Al 2 O 3 , MgO, and ZnO on a 30% biodiesel blend, showing a reduction of 19% BSFC and a 7% reduction in NOx. Backiyaraj et al [4] noticed the Al 2 O 3 nanoadditive with test fuels like diesel and 10%, 20%, and 30% mahua biodiesel blends under various load conditions.…”

Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is an approach in artificial intelligence that can be used to train and process the data using computers. Engineering, science, and pharmaceuticals are just a few of the many fields in which ANN is used. In the present work, ANN modeling has been used to forecast engine performance and emission characteristics. For network training, test data was gathered by running test rig using multiple fuel blends for a single-cylinder high-speed diesel engine. Data for the fuel input of the three distinct fuel used in the experiment - diesel, Mahua biodiesel (MME-20 and MME-50) and nano-blended fuels (50 ppm and 100 ppm) was taken from a framework. An artificial neural network based model was created to forecast performance and emissions using data from different fuels used in diesel engines. The simulation's findings showed that the developed diesel engine ANN 6-13-9 model could precisely forecast the engine performance and emission characteristics of a variety of alternative fuel blends. The Rtrain, Rval, Rtest, and Rall correction coefficients in the ANN 6-13-9 model were 0.99713, 0.99634, 0.99381, and 0.99617 respectively, indicating a stronger relationship between the expected and observed values.
