“…Addition of water into orange peel oil biodiesel (WOPOBDE1 and WOPOBDE2) has reduced the unburned hydrocarbon emissions. This is due to the heat sink effect of water in modified fuels (Vellaiyan et al 2017;Rathinam et al 2018;Radhakrishnan et al 2018). In addition, the water in the WOPOBDE1 and WOPOBDE2 increase the evaporation tendency and lower HC emissions (Devarajan and Munuswamy 2016;Vellaiyan et al 2017;Rathinam et al 2018;Radhakrishnan et al 2018).…”

“…This is due to the occurrence of a water particle in WOPOBDE1 and WOPOBDE2. The water present in modified fuel drastically reduces the peak ignition temperature (Vellaiyan et al 2017;Rathinam et al 2018;Radhakrishnan et al 2018). In addition, the water absorbs the maximum heat energy generated during the combustion.…”

“…The water present in modified fuel creates the micro-explosion during the course of combustion. This explosion enhances the atomization process and results in the improved air-fuel mixture, lower ignition delay, improved combustion and lower smoke emissions (Vellaiyan et al 2017;Rathinam et al 2018;Radhakrishnan et al 2018).…”

“…The water present in WOPOBDE1 and WOPOBDE2 converts into superheated steam and produces more power that in turn increases the fuel efficiency at all engine brake power (Nguyen et al 2015;Vellaiyan et al 2017a). Further, the micro-explosion of water droplets present in WOPOBDE1 and WOPOBDE2 provides enhanced atomization between air and fuel and result in higher efficiency (Rathinam et al 2018;Radhakrishnan et al 2018).…”

“…In this regard, biodiesel as a supplement in diesel engine fuel seems appropriate. Nontoxic, biodegradable, higher flash point, the absence of aromatic compounds, negligible sulfur, and carbon neutral characteristics are some of the major advantages of biodiesel as a diesel engine fuel (Mahalingam et al 2018).…”

This study paves the way on reducing smoke emission and NO x emissions of research diesel engine by detailing the effect of water addition in biodiesel. Fuel samples were prepared with different concentrations of water in orange peel oil biodiesel (94% waste orange peel oil biodiesel + 4% water + 2% Span 80 (WOPOBDE1) and 90% waste orange peel oil biodiesel + 8% water + 2% Span 80 (WOPOBDE2). Span 80 was employed as a nonionic surfactant, which emulsifies water in biodiesel. Experimental results revealed that the nitrogen oxides and smoke emission of orange peel oil biodiesel emulsion were reduced by 11%-19% and 3%-21%, respectively, compared to that of neat orange peel oil biodiesel (WOPOBD). In addition, the introduction of orange peel oil-water emulsions in the diesel engine considerably reduced the emissions of unburned hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide. The overall hydrocarbon emission of WOPOBDE2 was 12.2% lower than that of WOPOBD and 16.3% lower than that of diesel. The overall CO emission of WOPOBDE2 was 17% lower than that of base fuel (WOPOBD) and 21.8% lower than that of diesel. Experimental results revealed that modified fuel had higher brake thermal efficiency and lower brake specific fuel consumption than that of base fuel at all engine brake power levels.

Alternative fuels have drawn a lot of interest as oil and gas sources have depleted and environmental concerns have grown. An alternative fuel being researched as a potential replacement for fossil fuels is biodiesel. A 5.2 KW, 4-stroke, single-cylinder diesel engine's Performance, combustion, and emission characteristics were evaluated in this study at 1500 rpm with various fuel injection pressures (180, 200, 220, and 240 bar). B20 (80 percent diesel and 20 percent mahua biodiesel) was created by blending mahua oil-based biodiesel with plain diesel at a 20/80 ratio. Al 2 O 3 nanoparticles were then added at four different quantities, including 25, 50, 75, and 100 ppm. It is found that BTE was improved by 6.1% and BSFC was reduced by 2.5% for B20A25over diesel at the FIP of 220 bar. In-cylinder pressure was higher and HRR was raised by 7.2% for B20A25compared to diesel at 180 bar. CO emission was reduced by 39% in B20A25 when compared to biodiesel blend at 180 bar. When compared to diesel at 180 bar, B20A25's HC and CO2 emissions were reduced by 7.5% and 4.5%, respectively. Smoke for B20A25 at 240 bar was 3.6 percent lower than diesel. Maximum NOx emissions reduction was seen when Al 2 O 3 nanoparticles were added to the blend at 220 bar FIP.
