“…Furthermore, the addition of GO nanoparticles in the biodiesel enhanced engine performance and emission characteristics. El-Seesy et al [139,143] showed similar results on the performance and emissions of CI engine fuelled by Jatropha methyl ester biodiesel nanoparticle blend with GO nanoparticles. The addition of GO nanoparticles in the base fuel enhanced the combustion characteristics and reduced the exhaust emissions including CO, NO x , SO 2 , CO 2 , and smoke.…”

Nanofluid is a colloidal mixture consisting of nano-sized particles dispersed in a liquid medium. It improves heat transfer properties and promotes high energy efficiency in a wide spectrum of engineering applications. In recent years, particularly in the automotive industry, the addition of nanofluid in diesel/biodiesel as an additive for ICE has become an attractive approach to promote enhanced combustion efficiency and emission reduction due to their superior thermophysical properties. Many researchers have previously demonstrated that the addition of nanoparticles in diesel/biodiesel fuel improved the overall engine combustion characteristics. As a whole, this study aims to summarize the recent research findings related to the effect of nanoparticles on the fuel properties and engine combustion efficiency. Furthermore, different types of additive blended with varying fuel properties are also compared and discussed. Lastly, the advantages and prospects of using nanofluid as an additive fuel are summarized for future research opportunities.

“…Improved evaporation rate and combustion temperatures even at lower pressures were also considered as another factor for improved NHR for n-butanol blends. Negative NHR was observed for all the fuels near to 22° BTDC, because of heat absorption while evaporation of fuel was going on at ignition delay period [22]. It also has been observed that the ignition delay period is slightly improved for both the blends compared to diesel, and it is improved further as the blend strength increased further from 10 to 20%.…”

This research work indicates the analysis conducted to investigate the performance, exhaust emission and combustion characteristics of a VCR diesel engine fuelled with nbutanol blends at a rated speed of 1500 rpm with 300 bar injection pressure at compression ratios of 16, 18 and 20. The test fuel was prepared by adding n-butanol 10% (NB10) and 20% (NB20) to diesel by volume. The combustion characteristics investigated were; rise in-cylinder pressures, net heat release rate, cumulative heat release rate and mass fraction of fuel burned at all loads using three compression ratios. The emission and performance study also conducted. The higher heat release rates, increased cylinder pressures were observed for both the blends compared to diesel. Increased brake thermal efficiency observed at higher compression ratio for NB20 blend. It had also been observed that the emissions of CO2, HC and NOx were increased for both the blends, while CO emissions decreased in trend with an increase in compression ratio and blend strength.

Using Biofuels for Highly Renewable Electricity Systems: A Case Study of the Jatropha curcas

Recent movements for the decarbonization of the electricity sector have become a priority for many countries around the world and will inevitably lead to the sharp decline of fossil-fuel-based energy. Energy from fossil fuels is to be replaced by renewable energy sources (RES), although the transition will neither be cheap nor smooth. One sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels and which will take a considerable share in the increasing supply of renewable energy resources is biofuels. There are various types of biofuels used in practice; however, biodiesels represent one of the most popular and widespread ones. This paper focuses as a case study on the byproducts of Jatropha curcas, a crop and a plant that is already used for biofuel production and which is subsequently employed in electricity generation in Jatropha curcas producing regions. This paper identifies the limitations and prospects of Jatropha curcas utilization. Also, Jatropha curcas is compared to other materials suitable for biomass generation. An economic analysis for a 2 MW biofuel powerplant was conducted incorporating various market-related risks. The study shows that at current prices, net profitability can be achieved using Jatropha curcas byproducts for producing electricity.
