“…Nivin Chacko et al [14] have studied a diesel engine fueled with waste-cooking biodieseldiesel blends and reported lower PM, while slightly increased NOx. Inference concludes that some studies have been conducted to evaluate the utilization of biodiesel derived from fruit seeds in diesel engines [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. However, no reported studies focus on engine performance and exhaust emissions employing biodiesel derived from the custard seeds oil.…”

“…In one more work, Nivin et al [16] evaluate the cause of graphene oxide nanoparticles as additives in different proportions of karanja biodiesel on diesel engine performance and emissions and reported that there is a crucial enrichment in the BTE along with the plunge in the emissions. Venkatesan et al [17] conducted researches on ZnO nanoparticles using jatropha biodiesel in direct injection (DI) diesel engine. They showed that increasing the ZnO nanoparticles leads to healthier performance.…”

In this study, the nano biochar derived from sugarcane was added with custard seed biodiesel (CBD) at different concentrations of 25 and 50 ppm to assist the emission and performance pattern of a compression ignition engine. The study monitored harmful gases, namely, hydrocarbon (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxide (NO), and smoke as emission parameters and investigated brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) and brake thermal efficiency (BTE) as performance parameters are analyzed at diverse loads by altering the concentration the biochar with CBD and compared with diesel. Experimental results revealed that the biochar addition at 50 ppm to CBD reduced smoke emission by 1.9%, CO by 0.005%, and HC by 6 ppm at all top load conditions with 71 ppm higher NO. Further, biochar addition at 50 ppm to CBD enhances the brake thermal efficiency by 0.7% and lower brake specific fuel consumption by 0.4 kg/kWh.

Carbon emission and problems associated with the world have been the major concerns for the past few decades. The world governments have implemented stringent emission norms to reduce the pollution created by hydrocarbon combustion in automobiles. The use of gaseous fuels in IC engines has gained interest among the research community. In the present research work, hydrogen, and oxygen (HHO gas) are produced together in an electrolyzer unit and is fed into the engine intake manifold before the carburetor. The electrolyzer consists of an anode, cathode and five neutral plates made of 316 L SS. Electrolyser production rate was tested with four different molarity conditions of NaOH electrolyte solution ranging from 0.24 to 1 N. It was noted that a maximum of 2 LPM of HHO gas was produced with the supply of 90 A‐h current at 1 N solution concentration. The performance and emission characters of the SI engine were conducted at six different load conditions and four flow rates of HHO gas. HHO gas induction has significantly increased the thermal brake efficiency by 8% and decreased the specific fuel consumption by 20%. With the supply of 2 LPM of HHO gas, CO2, HC, and NOx emissions were reduced by 67%, 59%, and 34%, respectively.
