“…The variations of smoke emissions with engine load for diesel, bio diesel-diesel blends, with nano additive ofPOME and WCOME are shown in Figure 8. For all the blends, the smoke increases with increase in loads.The combustion duration and ignition delay increases the gas-phase emissions compared with the lower blends [36].The Smoke emission was formed due to higher viscosity and lower volatility can result in poor mixture formation in which biofuel was used in DI diesel engine [37,38,39]. The smoke emissions of nano additive fuel blends are higherthan diesel fuel.…”

“…Due to the shortened ignition delay, higher surface to volume ratio results in a perfect mixture formation, quick evaporation rate and improved ignition characteristics of nano additives. Because NOX and smoke are trade off [38,39,40].Diesel fuel, NPOME and NWCOME smoke as55HSU59 HSU and 64 HSU respectively at maximum load. The HRR measures how quickly fuel's chemical energy is released during burning.…”

In this experimental work focused on, the performance, emission, and combustion characteristics of Nano methyl esters of Punnai oil and Waste Cooking oil, and their diesel blends in a Compressed Ignition were experimentally tested. In the study, Nano Punnai oil methyl esters (NPOME), and Nano Waste Cooking Oil Methyl Esters (NWCOME) were prepared by the transesterification process. The Bio diesel-diesel blends were prepared by mixing 10%, 30%, 50%, and 70% of biodiesel with diesel. The effects of two nano methyl esters and their diesel blends on engine performance, combustion, and exhaust emissions are tested at different engine loads. Experimental results concluded that up to 30% of no methyl esters did not affect the performance, combustion, and emissions characteristics. On the other hand, above B30 (30% Biodiesel with 70% diesel) a reduction in performance, combustion, and emission characteristics is clear from the study.

“…The smoke emission is mainly due to the higher viscosity and lower volatility that results in poor mixture formation in which neat diesel was used in DI-CI engine. The smoke emissions of nano additive fuel blends are lower than the neat diesel due to the shortened ignition delay, higher surface to volume ratio that results in perfect mixture formation, quick evaporation rate and improved ignition characteristics of nano additives [19].…”

Diesel fuel is necessary for farming, transport, and industrialized sector. It contributes to the wealth of the universal economy while it is widely used due to having higher flexibility, combustion efficiency, consistency and handling facilities. However, emissions from fossil fuel are considered as the main source of environmental pollution. Thus, it becomes necessary to reduce emission by improving the performance of the engines. Recently the addition of catalytic material like nanoparticles to diesel proves to be a hopeful solution to reduce emission without much modification of the existing engine design. In the present study, the influence of nanoparticles doped with diesel on the performance and emission characteristics are carried out in a naturally aspirated, single-cylinder, four-stroke, water-cooled, 3.7 kW, direct-injection compression-ignition engine is coupled with eddy current dynamometer and high-speed data acquisition system. Cerium Oxide nanoparticles are selected as the best oxygen boosting catalytic nanoparticle and it is prepared by the sol-gel process. Nanoparticles, then doped with diesel with the help of an Ultrasonicator with different molar concentrations (5 ppm, 7.5 ppm, 10 ppm, 15 ppm). Fuel properties of nano doped fuel samples are tested and presented in this paper. The DI CI engine experimental results were found to be brake thermal efficiency is increased by 3.6% by simultaneously reducing fuel consumption by 3.63% and also harmful environmental pollution like carbon monoxide, unburned hydrocarbon, carbon dioxide, and smoke level are decreased by 9.11%, 6.3%, 3.12%, and 12.6% respectively compared to pure diesel. It may be due to the enhanced surface to volume ratio, catalytic activity and improving the mixing rate of fuel and air in the combustion chamber.

“…The performance and exhaust emissions of the blended biodiesel were found to be identical to pure biodiesel. The use of citrus sinensis biodiesel had only a minor impact on power and torque but increased NOx emissions while decreasing CO. Solaimuthu et al [30] conducted a study on engine performance and emissions by testing mahua biodiesel and different fuel blends in a single-cylinder diesel engine. The researchers utilized a combination of selective catalytic reduction (SCR), cold exhaust gas recirculation, and hot exhaust gas recirculation to mitigate NOx emissions.…”

Biodiesel has attracted a lot of attention as a possible replacement for traditional fuels due to the limited supply of fossil fuels and the growing concern about emissions of greenhouse gases. It is renewable and produces less hazardous emissions when burned. Enhancing biodiesel production is imperative to meet the escalating demand for eco-friendly fuels, serving as a remedy for the rising costs and dwindling accessibility of petroleum. This study aims in boosting neem biodiesel production specially in dry and unproductive soil regions and improving engine power using neem oil biodiesel, especially using lower blends. This study is in line with the initiatives that promote sustainable energy growth by gradually increase biodiesel blending from 15% to 30% in the near future. This research delves into the manufacturing of biodiesel from neem seeds and impact of its blends on the efficiency and emissions of compression ignition engines when combined with regular fuel. The biodiesel was produced using the transesterification method.Three distinct blends, B10, B15, and B20, were prepared by blending neem biodiesel with regular diesel. When testing engine performance, these mixtures were compared against pure diesel fuel. The specific fuel consumption and brake thermal efficiency of all blend combinations improved with increasing load. In comparison to pure diesel, there were also decreased percentages of hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), and smoke opacity. There was an increase in nitrogen oxides with increasing load for all mixes as compared to pure diesel. The research results highlight neem biodiesel as a practical and efficient alternative to conventional diesel fuel due to its ability to enhance engine efficiency and lowering emissions.
