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.

This study deals with an experimental investigation to assess the characteristics of a modified common rail direct injection (CRDI) engine utilizing diesel, Mahua biodiesel, and their blends with synthesized zinc oxide (ZnO) nano additives. The physicochemical properties of diesel, diesel + 30 ppm ZnO nanoparticles (D10030), 20% Mahua biodiesel (MOME20), and Mahua biodiesel (20%) + 30 ppm ZnO nanoparticles (MOME2030) were measured in accordance to the American Society for Testing and Materials standards. The effects of modification of fuel injectors (FI) holes (7-hole FI) and toroidal reentrant combustion chamber (TRCC) piston bowl design on the performance of CRDI using different fuel blends were assessed. For injection timings (IT) and injection opening pressure (IOP) average increase in brake thermal efficiency for fuel blend D10030 and MOME2030 was 9.65% and 16.4%, and 8.83% and 5.06%, respectively. Also, for IT and IOP, the average reductions in brake specific fuel consumption, smoke, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxide emissions for D10030 and MOME2030 were 10.9% and 7.7%, 18.2% and 8.6%, 12.6% and 11.5%, 8.74% and 13.1%, and 5.75% and 7.79%, respectively and 15.5% and 5.06%, 20.33% and 6.20%, 11.12% and 24.8%, 18.32% and 6.29%, and 1.79% and 6.89%, respectively for 7-hole fuel injector and TRCC. The cylinder pressure and heat release rate for D10030 and MOME2030 were enhanced by 6.8% and 17.1%, and 7.35% and 12.28%. The 7-hole fuel injector with the nano fuel blends at an injection timing and pressure of 10° btdc and 900 bar demonstrated the overall improvement of the engine characteristics due to the better air quality for fuel mixing. Similarly, the TRCC cylinder bowl geometry illustrated advanced ignition due to an improved swirl and turbulence. Also, the engine test results demonstrated that 30 ppm of ZnO nanoparticles in Mahua biodiesel (MOME2030) and diesel (D10030) with diethyl ether resulted overall enhancement of CRDI engine characteristics.

“…On analyzing the emission characteristics, the HC, smoke, and CO were reduced by 21.68%, 26.24%, and 38.62% respectively, compared with that of the B20 blend. Soudagar et al studied the influence of Al 2 O 3 nanoadditive dispersed in honge oil methyl ester (HOME) blended with diesel to assess the performance, emission, and combustion characteristics of the diesel engine. Biodiesel (B20‐20%; HOME‐80% diesel) with varying proportions of Al 2 O 3 (20, 40, and 60 ppm) was prepared as a nanofuel using the ultrasonication method.…”

A novel nanofuel is formulated using aluminum oxide (alumina) nanoparticles (AONs) in neat plastic oil (PO). A light-duty compression-ignition engine is used in the present investigation to analyze the effect of a 100% plastic nanofuel under different concentrations of nanoparticle on performance, combustion, and emission characteristics. The modified fuels used for conducting the experiment were formulated by mixing PO with 100, 150, and 200 mg/L of AON. The results of the physical and chemical properties of neat PO were significantly improved, in addition to AON. The nanofuels exhibited lower in-cylinder pressure, delay period, and combustion duration than that of neat PO operation. The performance analysis revealed a 10.3% increase in thermal efficiency for PAN200 nanofuel compared with PO and it was almost the same as that of conventional diesel fuel. The emission levels of HC, CO, and smoke for PO-based nanofuels were reduced significantly at all brake mean effective pressure values, whereas the reduction in the NO X emission was only marginal. At full load, the emission of smoke, HC and CO of the PAN200 nanofuel were lower than the diesel operation. Overall, the engine fueled with nanofuel exhibited superior characteristics compared to that of neat PO operation.combustion, diesel engine, emission, nanoaluminum oxide, nanofuel, plastic oil | INTRODUCTIONThe high performance, durability, and wide range of applications of diesel engines are the major reasons for the rapid increase in their number, especially in the last two decades. Even though compression-ignition (CI) engines produce higher brake thermal efficiency (BTE) compared with spark-ignition engines, the level of NO X , smoke, and particulate matter in their exhaust is high. Recent studies reveal that the emission from the transportation sector contributes more to the total emission level than the industrial and domestic sectors. 1,2 The products of combustion pose a great threat to both human and animal life and are major environmental concerns. Reducing the exhaust emissions of diesel engines, without compromising the performance, is still a challenge for researchers. Also, emission norms are getting more stringent every year for reducing the impact of emissions on the environment. Moreover, excessive extraction and generous consumption are declining the level of fossil fuel reserves at an alarming rate. These two issues have forced researchers to look for an alternative environment-friendly energy source. 3,4 Extensive research is underway, around the world, for finding out a potential alternative energy resource for substituting petroleum fuels. The physical and chemical properties of various biodiesels are almost similar to that of conventional fuels, so the majority of the research has been carried out using them as an alternative for diesel. 5-9 Amongst the various fuels used, plastic oil (PO) synthesized using the pyrolysis technique has gained significant attention due to its double advantage by collecting waste plastic by recovering energy ...
