An experimental analysis on the influence of fuel borne additives on the single cylinder diesel engine powered by Cymbopogon flexuosus biofuel

An assessment on performance, combustion and emission behavior of a diesel engine powered by ceria nanoparticle blended emulsified biofuel

“…This is due to expulsion of gases during the combustion. Based on the earlier research of Hongyun Jin et al [33], Sajeevan and Sajith [16] and Dhinesh et al [26], the CeO 2 nanoparticles seem to have good thermal stability and conductivity. Table 1 shows the specification of cerium oxide nanoparticle [30][31][32].…”

“…Dhinesh et al [26] studied the influence of cerium oxide nanoparticle addition in C. flexuosus biofuel in direct injection compression ignition engine. The cerium oxide nanoparticle was dispersed into the C. flexuosus biofuel with different proportion of 10, 20 and 30 ppm.…”

Experimental investigation on direct injection diesel engine fuelled with addition of titanium dioxide nanoparticle to M. elangi biodiesel for varying injection pressures

“…Adding up of TiO 2 nanoparticle to base fuel (20MEME‐80D) which oxidizes the carbon deposits from the engine leads to efficient operation and reduction in fuel consumption . Decreased fuel consumption and improved thermal efficiency resulted by the prevention of carbon deposit with the addition of TiO 2 nanoparticle .…”

“…Researchers investigated the engine performance using Cymbopogon flexuous biofuel was blended with diesel and various proportion of cerium oxide nanoparticles. Their result reported that improvement in fuel properties and brake thermal efficiency was improved by 4.76% and simultaneously smoke and NO x emissions were reduced by 3% and 6.6% [26]. Krupakaran et al [27] was focused on γ-Al 2 O 3 nanoparticle in palm methyl ester with various dosage levels.…”

Impact of Nanoadditives on the Performance and Combustion Characteristics of Neat Jatropha Biodiesel

“…Due to the reduced heat flux, an improvement in thermal efficiency by 1.75% was observed on coated engine using Cymbopogon flexuosus biofuel-fossil diesel blends with 20 ppm cerium oxide nanoadditive when compared to an uncoated engine using the same fuel [30]. In a separate study, Cymbopogon flexuosus biofuel (20%)-fossil diesel (80%) blends with various proportions of cerium oxide nanoadditives achieved up to 4.76% higher thermal efficiency and 6.6% decrease in smoke opacity as compared to biofuel-diesel blends without nanoadditives [31]. Addition of nanoparticles gave increased heat release rate and peak in-cylinder pressure; emissions of UHC, CO and NOx gases were reduced by 7%, 12.5% and 3%, respectively, at full engine load.…”
