“…Due to delayed injection timing, multiple injection procedures were more effective in mitigating the release of soot and NO x throughout the combustion process. Still, such strategies may not be cost-effective or easy to implement. − Nour et al investigated the impacts of methanol and diesel blends. Methanol fuel’s BSFC and NO x emissions were higher, whereas conventional diesel fuel’s brake thermal efficiency (BTE) and CO and HC emissions were reduced.…”

This work reviews the numerous key parameters of each alcohol and their effect on CI engine characteristics. The second part of the review emphasizes the effect of nanoadditive addition on diesel and biodiesel owing to their physical and chemical features. A more detailed evaluation of the influence of nanoadditives on diesel engine behavior was done when diesel and biodiesel were doped at varying doses. According to the review, alcohols with a greater carbon concentration, such as butanol and pentanol, have superior miscibility and stability versus alcohols with lesser carbon elements. Additionally, the lower cooling impact and autoignition capability generated by high-alcohol concentrations would make this the optimum additive formulation for usage with diesel fuel. Nanoparticles have been added to fuels used in diesel engines to improve performance and reduce emissions in recent years. The utilization and preparation of fossil-based fuels increase environmental-related issues. Different nanomaterials assorted with fuels for compression ignition (CI) engines and their effects are reviewed in this work. Nanomaterials added to pure diesel and blends of diesel and biodiesel are considered for the study. The physiochemical properties of different fuels with nanoadditives are summarized. Performance characteristics such as brake-specific fuel consumption (BSFC), brake thermal efficiency (BTE), and exhaust gas temperature (EGT) are analyzed and compared for various fuel and nanoadditives combinations. Combustion characteristics and mass fraction burned are investigated. The values of various emissions from the engines fuelled with different combinations are examined. Among the various fuels and nanoadditives studied, 100 ppm TiO2 added diesel consumes the lowest BSFC of 0.3 kg/kWh. Hurdles faced in the current utilization of nanoadditives in diesel engines and the scope for future research are also highlighted.

“…Used cooking oil was obtained from the local restaurants that used refined rice bran oil for cooking or frying food items. This oil was first sieved for removal of impurities and later transesterified using a known volume of methanol and KOH as reaction catalysts using the soxhlet apparatus [28]. The time for the transesterification reaction was kept at 2hrs and the reaction temperature was maintained at 65 deg.…”

“…Esterified oils or Biodiesel have low calorific value due to which, the combustion of fuel is better but the amount of fuel consumed per power unit is higher [24][25][26][27]. Researchers have tried to address this issue by varying the fuel injection pressure and timing of fuel inlet into the combustion chamber [28][29][30]. Lower Biodiesel-diesel blends have slightly higher density and viscosity due to which the fuel management systems [8][9][10], have to be changed for better combustion of these denser blends [31].…”

Fuel Injection is a significant factor when biodiesel-diesel blends are fired in diesel engines as they have very diverse property when related to diesel. The current work describes unusual experimental study of CI engine fuelled with Waste cooking methyl ester with copper oxide nano additives at varying fuel injection pressures. The Copper oxide nano additives were manufactured using homogenous addition method and were subjected to studies such as XRD and SEM characterization. These synthesized nanoparticles were later added in waste cooking oil biodiesel blend (WCO20) with levels of 10 ppm, 20 ppm, 30 ppm, and 40ppm. The results were noted from a DI-CI VCR engine coupled with an eddy current dynamometer. The addition of CuO particles reduces the ignition delay of WCO20 and raises the thermal efficiency of the engine by an average of 3.9% and limits HC emission by 15.6%.

Biodiesel outperforms diesel in emissions and engine performance. They burn efficiently in diesel engines and are eco‐friendly. Since cashew nut shell liquid (CNSO) is waste, commercial biodiesel production from it should be profitable. CNSO is cheap and can reduce cashew processing factory waste. From cashew kernels, CNSL is extracted using various mechanical, thermal, and solvent extraction techniques. This article examines current research into using cashew nutshell liquid biodiesel (CNSLBD) in diesel engines. The work also discusses Indian biodiesel demand, availability, export information, life cycle cost analysis, cost economics of per hectare yield, Indian government initiative of CNSO. This review also evaluates the viability of this fuel as an alternative energy source. CNSLBD is a prospective alternative fuel that has the potential to benefit both the cashew nut industry and the energy industry. In addition to this, the study examines the procedures for extracting CNSO. According to the findings of the study, CNSO is a prospective alternative fuel that has the potential to benefit both the cashew nut industry and the energy industry.
