“…The HC emission for POBD + Ag 2 O (10 ppm) is considerably lower than that for POBD + Ag 2 O (5 ppm) at all conditions. A higher existence of nanoparticles (5–10 ppm) enhances the combustion by providing excess oxygen during combustion and reduces HC emission . These results match with many studies − , that reported a lower HC emission of the diesel engine fueled with the BD and nanoparticle mixture.…”

“…A higher existence of nanoparticles (5−10 ppm) enhances the combustion by providing excess oxygen during combustion and reduces HC emission. 34 These results match with many studies [24][25][26][27][28]33 that reported a lower HC emission of the diesel engine fueled with the BD and nanoparticle mixture. The HC emission at peak conditions for diesel, POBD, POBD + Ag 2 O (5 ppm), and POBD + Ag 2 O (10 ppm) is 0.42, 0.33, 0.25, and 0.23 g/kWh, respectively.…”

More requirements for diesel fuel and a huge rise in air pollution, owing to the surplus usage of diesel fuel, give us a prospect to discover environmentally friendly and clean fuels for the existing unmodified diesel engines. The present work is aimed to analyze the combustion, performance, and emission characteristics of a neat palm oil biodiesel (POBD)-fueled diesel engine with silver oxide (Ag2O) as a additive in various mass fractions (5 and 10 ppm), and the results are compared to conventional diesel. Experiments were conducted in a natural aspirated, two-cylinder diesel engine at a constant speed and compression ratio of 2400 rpm and 17:1, respectively. Ag2O was added with neat POBD using an ultrasonicator. The experimental investigation on the diesel engine reveals that the addition of Ag2O nanoparticles to palm oil mill effluent (POME) resulted in enhancement in ignition characteristics because of the enhanced surface area/volume ratio. In addition, the addition of Ag2O nanoparticles to POME resulted in enhancement in brake thermal efficiency with a reduction in brake specific fuel consumption. The experimental results also show that the Ag2O nanoparticles promote an improved level of hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide, smoke, and nitrogen (NO x ) emissions.

This work investigates the experimental study to examine the operation characteristics of a neat neem oil methyl ester (BD100) along with silver oxide nano-particles as a metal-based additive in various mass fractions. Silver oxide nano-particle is mixed into 100% of BD100 at 5 and 10 ppm. The experimental investigation on diesel engine reveals that the addition of silver oxide nano-particles to BD100 resulted in enhancement of brake thermal efficiency (BTE) with a reduction in brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC). The tested emission parameters such as CO, HC, NOx, and smoke were decreased by 12.22, 10.89, 4.24, and 6.61% for BD100+ AgO (5 ppm) and 16.47, 14.21, 6.66, and 8.34% for BD100 respectively when compared to BD100. Overall, improvement in ignition characteristics of the engine was finer by adding 5 and 10 ppm of silver oxide nano-particle to BD100 on account of the enhanced surface area to volume ratio.
