“…This process involves the breakdown of long-chain triglycerides into their constituent constituents. Figure 1 is a block diagram showing the process of making biodiesel from non-edible seed oils [16]. Raw kapok oil was heated to around 60 °C for a brief time in order to remove any remaining moisture.…”

This work provides a high-level overview of the performance parameters of a nanoparticle-fuelled engine emulsion. The nanoparticle of cobalt chromite was created by a straightforward laboratory procedure. The nanoparticles were introduced at concentrations of 20 ppm, 40 ppm, 60 ppm, and 80 ppm, with the optimal concentration being found to be a Kapok methylester-20 (KME20) blend. Varying the timings and operated the engine at a constant speed 1800 rpm. Injections can be given at 19, 23, or 27 degrees before the before top dead centre, which are referred to as retardation, standard, and advanced, respectively. The Brake thermal efficiency is increased by 7.2% when the blend of KME20 with 80 ppm advanced is compared to the triggered ignition delay. Unburnt hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide levels in the 80 ppm-Advanced KME20 mix are reduced by 37.86% and 41.66%, respectively, when compared to the standard injection period. Oxides of nitrogen and carbon monoxide in the blend KME20 with 20ppm - retardation rose by 16.45 and 9.5 percent, respectively, compared to the duration of normal injections. Increased the brake thermal efficiency for KME20 with nanoparticles at concentration of 80 ppm is 7.5% as related to same blend without doping of nanoparticles. Using kapok methyl ester with nanoparticles doped in the standard engine can improve efficiency and performance.

“…Biodiesel is usually produced by the esterification of fatty acids in non-edible or edible oils with primary alcohols using basic or acidic catalysts [ 9 , 10 ]. Also, esterification of free fatty acids such as palmitic acid and oleic acid in incompatible raw materials before using basic catalysts is important for the transesterification reaction due to soap formation, therefore acid nanocatalysis is more suitable for biodiesel production [ 11 ]. Therefore, using an acid catalyst, environmentally friendly and green biodiesel can be produced from palmitic acid and oleic acid [ 12 , 13 ].…”

“…Researchers have recently become interested in adding nano additives to water-diesel emulsions, which substantially impact the diesel engine's operational characteristics [14]. In internal combustion engines, metal nanoparticles are frequently utilized in fuel as nano additives [15]. Nanoparticles of metal oxides, such as aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ), zinc oxide (ZnO), cerium oxide (CeO 2 ), and others, are the focus of the majority of the research on metal nanoparticles utilized in emulsified fuel at the present time [16].…”

This study aims to assess the impact of the water ratio and nanoparticle concentration of neat diesel fuel on the performance characteristics of and exhaust gas emissions from diesel engines. The experimental tests were conducted in two stages. In the first stage, the effects of adding water to neat diesel fuel in ratios of 2.5% and 5% on engine performance and emissions characteristics were examined and compared to those of neat diesel at a constant engine speed of 3000 rpm under three different engine loads. A response surface methodology (RSM) based on a central composite design (CCD) was utilized to simulate the design of the experiment. According to the test results, adding water to neat diesel fuel increased the brake-specific fuel consumption and reduced the brake thermal efficiency compared to neat diesel fuel. In the examination of exhaust emissions, hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), and nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the tested fuel containing 2.5% of water were decreased in comparison to pure diesel fuel by 16.62%, 21.56%, and 60.18%, respectively, on average, through engine loading. In the second stage, due to the trade-off between emissions and performance, the emulsion fuel containing 2.5% of water is chosen as the best emulsion from the previous stage and mixed with aluminum oxide nanoparticles at two dose levels (50 and 100 ppm). With the same engine conditions, the emulsion fuel mixed with 50 ppm of aluminum oxide nanoparticles exhibited the best performance and the lowest emissions compared to the other evaluated fuels. The outcomes of the investigations showed that a low concentration of 50 ppm with a small amount of 11 nm of aluminum oxide nanoparticles combined with a water diesel emulsion is a successful method for improving diesel engine performance while lowering emissions. Additionally, it was found that the mathematical model could accurately predict engine performance parameters and pollution characteristics.
