Abstract:An innovative idea have been proposed in this work, to increase fuel efficiency and minimize emission from Diesel engine. This research mainly focuses on the systhesis of two nano materials namely MgO, TiO2. The synthesized nano additives was blended in equal proportion with Biodiesel prepared from Watermelon seed oil through the process of trans-esterification. Then 20% Biodiesel was mixed with 80% diesel and now the fuel is called as B20. Equal proportion of MgO and TiO2 mixture was prepared which is called … Show more
