Abstract:This work investigates the effect of thermal barrier coating and addition of cerium oxide nanoparticles to the palm biodiesel fuelled diesel engine. The combustion chamber parts of cylinder liner and piston were coated 200 and 100 micron thickness respectively using equal percentages of Yittria Stabilised Zirconia (YSZ) and alumina powder in plasma spraying technique. The 30 ppm and 60 ppm of cerium oxide (IV) nanoparicles were added to the palm biodiesel fuel separately. The performance and pollution paramete… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
