“…The neat LGO had lower cylinder pressure compared with all other fuels, due to its higher viscosity, density and poor volatility, which led to poor atomization and evaporation of fuel, whereas the LGO emulsion produced higher cylinder pressure compared with neat LGO and LGO nano emulsion because of the water content in the fuel leading to longer ignition delay and its induced more amount of fuel to get accumulated in the engine cylinder and it was suddenly burned [23]. The LGO nano emulsion fuel had lower cylinder pressure compared with LGO emulsion fuel due to the advancement of premixed combustion zone [38]. The HRR of LGO nano emulsion fuel had lowered compared with diesel and LGO emulsion fuel.…”

“…Addition of aluminum oxide nanoparticles has significant improvement in heat release rate and brake thermal efficiency with a marginal increase in NO X emissions. Anbarasu and Karthikeyan (2016) performed an experimental study on biodiesel and diesel with the addition of cerium oxide nanoparticle in direct injection constant speed compression ignition engine. Cerium oxide (CeO 2 ) nanoparticle at 100 ppm and 200 ppm is added to methyl esters to view the effects on performance and emission characteristics.…”

This work examines the consequence of employing cerium oxide (CeO 2) nanoparticles at a different proportion (30 ppm, 60 ppm and 90 ppm) to palm oil methyl ester and diesel blends (B20) in water-cooled single cylinder four stroke diesel engine. Adding nanoparticles is a strategy to improve the performance and reduce emissions of the biodiesel. Prepared samples are fuelled to diesel engine by admitting exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) of 10% and 20% by volume. The main intention of this study is to lessen the nitrogen oxide (NO X) emissions for diesel and biodiesel blends. Experimental results found a significant reduction NO X , carbon monoxide (CO), smoke and hydrocarbon (HC) emissions at 10% EGR rate. However, brake specific fuel consumption is increased with significant lower brake thermal efficiency by admitting EGR of 20% by volume. Thus, it can be inferred that EGR of 10% by volume is an optimal way on reducing harmful emissions without compromising much on performance aspects of biodiesel fuelled diesel engine.

“…It shows TBC engine emission level as very low when it is run by neat palm biodiesel and cerium oxide nanoparticles mixed palm biodiesel used conditions compared with base engine (Anbarasu et al, 2015). Unburned hydrocarbon emissions were reduced compared with a base engine on an average of 14, 21.4 and 26 ppm in neat palm biodiesel, 30 ppm and 60 ppm cerium oxide mixed palm biodiesel used TBC engine respectively (Anbarasu and Karthikeyan, 2016). This reduced hydrocarbon emission happened due to TBC engine maintaining a high heat energy in the chamber, it absorbed deposits of oil in the combustion chamber wall, usage of one of thermal barrier coated material of alumina and cerium oxide nanoparticles promotes the oxidation process with hydrocarbon (Pandian et al, 2017).…”

This work investigates the effect of thermal barrier coating and addition of cerium oxide nanoparticles to the palm biodiesel fuelled diesel engine. The combustion chamber parts of cylinder liner and piston were coated 200 and 100 micron thickness respectively using equal percentages of Yittria Stabilised Zirconia (YSZ) and alumina powder in plasma spraying technique. The 30 ppm and 60 ppm of cerium oxide (IV) nanoparicles were added to the palm biodiesel fuel separately. The performance and pollution parameters were analysed initially using a thermal barrier coated (TBC) engine with neat palm biodiesel. Cerium oxide (IV) nanoparticles were then added to the palm biodiesel and their effects were compared with the base engine. The final performance results showed reduction in the specific fuel consumption on an average of 11.86%, 16.92% and 20.57%, while brake thermal efficiency was increased by 3.21%, 4.28% and 4.82% in neat palm biodiesel fuel, 30 ppm and 60 ppm CeO 2 mixed palm biodiesel fuel used TBC engine respectively. Carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbon emission were reduced by 2.2% and 3.7% and nitrogen oxide emission was increased by 1.7% for TBC engine. However, the use of oxygen denoting catalyst of cerium oxide nanoparticles caused a 2.4% reduction in nitrogen oxide emission.
