“…In conjunction with various biodiesel fractions, the impact of titanium oxide on engine performance and emission characteristics was investigated. They discovered a significant enhancement in thermal efficiency and reduced pollutants such as hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides [4]. The effects of alumina nanoparticles in biodiesel generated from spent cooking oil have been studied.…”

Nanoparticles are an emerging concept for increasing fuel properties. The purpose of this research work is to determine the effect of magnesium oxide nanoparticles on the performance and emission characteristics of diesel engines that run on a spirulina microalgae biodiesel blend (B20) as a fuel. The ultrasonication was used to disperse MgO nanoparticles in B20 fuel at various concentrations (25, 50, 75, and 100 ppm). The significant findings indicated that B20+100 blends reduced specific fuel consumption by 20.1% and had a 5.09% higher brake thermal efficiency than B20. B20+100 blends reduced CO, hydrocarbon, and smoke emissions by a maximum of 32.02%, 30.03%, and 26.07%, respectively, compared to B20.

“…The use of vegetable oil results in increased fuel consumption i.e., increased brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC). Various studies found higher CO and HC emissions with vegetable oils and their blends, and lower NOx and particulate emissions compared to mineral diesel (A. K. Agarwal, Singh, & Maurya, 2017;Al-Shemmeri & Oberweis, 2011;Devaraj, Yuvarajan, & Vinoth Kanna, 2020;Misra & Murthy, 2011;Seraç, Aydın, Yılmaz, &Şevik, 2020;Xiao et al, 2020). Engine performance and emissions tests conducted on biodiesels and their mixtures as potential CI engine fuels (Ashour & Elwardany, 2020;Damodharan, Sathiyagnanam, Rana, Kumar, & Saravanan, 2018;Datta & Mandal, 2017;Gad & Jayaraj, 2020;Jiaqiang et al, 2017).…”

An experimental study has been done to examine the performance and emission of a diesel engine using different blend ratios of Jatropha oil methyl ester at different engine speeds. At each speed, the engine was operated at no load, quarter, half, three quarters, and full load for different blending ratios. The performance parameters evaluated include Brake Power (BP), Brake Mean Effective Pressure (BMEP), brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC), air to fuel ratio (AFR), excess air factor, brake thermal efficiency, volumetric efficiency and the temperature of exhaust gas whereas exhaust emissions include specific emissions of O2, CO, CO2, and NOx. Biodiesel blends result in a decrease of brake power by 30.8 %, decreases in air to fuel ratio by 18 %, decreases in brake thermal efficiency by 21 %, decreases in volumetric efficiency by 10.7 % and increases in brake specific fuel consumption by 32.18 %. Specific emission of O2, CO, and NOx increases with increasing the percentage of biodiesel in fuel blends. Specific emission of CO2 decreases with increasing the rate of biodiesel in fuel blends. The results suggest that biodiesel obtained from non-edible oil like Jatropha could be a decent substitute to diesel fuel in the diesel engine.

“…The presence of biodiesel having lower cetane and high viscosity takes extra time to vaporize, which leads to broader lean outer flame zone. Deterioration of autoignition properties of blends causes promotion of quenching impact in the thin mixture zone of engine cylinder …”

Research on and use of biodiesels for engines is growing continuously in the present era. Compression ignition (CI) engine performance for biodiesels of blends B20 from Acid oil, Mahua oil, and Castor oil is experimentally investigated. The engine performance analysis in the form of brake-specific fuel consumption, brakespecific energy consumption, brake thermal efficiency (BTE), exhaust gas temperature (EGT), and air fuel ratio are compared with diesel as base fuel. Emission characteristics like CO, CO 2 , NOx, and opacity are comparatively studied in detail for the considered biodiesels. The entire study is compared with the performance of engine when pure diesel is chosen as fuel. From the complete analysis it was observed that the BTE was higher for Acid oil and Mahua oil among the biodiesels used. And regarding CO emissions, Mahua oil showed lower effect than other biodiesels. Upto 6% increase in EGT of Mahua oil was obtained at no load and for other loads the percent reduced. For all the biodiesels the % enhancement in Co, CO 2 , and NOx was more than 60% at highest load compared with diesel.
