Role of nanoadditive blended biodiesel emulsion fuel on the performance and emission characteristics of diesel engine

An investigational research is carried out to found the performance and emission characteristics of a direct injection (DI) diesel engine with aluminium oxide nanoparticle additives in water and biodiesel blend. Palm methyl ester was produced by transesterification and blended with water. Aluminium oxide nanoparticles of 50 and 100 ppm in proportion are subjected to high-speed mechanical agitation followed by ultrasonication. The experimentations were conducted on a single cylinder DI diesel engine at a constant speed of 1500 rpm using different aluminium-oxide (AL2O3)-blended with emulsified biodiesel (PBD5%W+100ppm, PBD10%W+50ppm, PBD15%W+100ppm, PBD20%W+50ppm) and the outcomes were compared with those of neat diesel and Palm biodiesel. The experimental results indicated that brake thermal efficiency of PBD20%W+50 ppm and PBD+15%W+100ppm aluminium oxide was increased by 3-4% with 1.72% betterment in specific fuel consumption. Emissions of nitrogen oxide and hydrocarbon were reasonably lower than diesel fuel.

Oil Sunflower

In the present work, the combustion, performance and emission characteristics of sunflower oil, sunflower methyl ester and its blends were studied and compared with diesel by employing them as fuel in a single cylinder, direct injection, 4.4 KW, air cooled diesel engine. Emission measurements were carried out using five-gas exhaust gas analyzer and smoke meter. The performance characteristics of Sunflower oil, Sunflower methyl ester and its blends were comparable with those of diesel. The components of exhaust such as HC, CO, NOx and soot concentration of the fuels were measured and presented as a function of load and it was observed that the blends had similar performance and emission characteristics as those of diesel. NOx emissions of sunflower oil methyl ester were slightly higher than that of diesel but that of sunflower oil was slightly lower than that of diesel. With respect to the combustion characteristics it was found that the biofuels have lower ignition delay than diesel. The heat release rate was very high for diesel than for the biofuel.

Ethanol Blends

The paper presents an experimental investigation, to evaluate the performance and emission characteristics of a direct injection diesel engine using diesel-ethanol blends with aqueous cerium oxide nano fluid (ACN) as additive at different load conditions. The test fuel (D85E15ACN) prepared using ultrasonic sonicator, contains diesel 85%, ethanol 15% (D85+E15) by volume, with 1ml of aqueous cerium oxide nanofluid (ACN) added with the blend. The results show that, when the engine is run with D85E15ACN, there is an increase in brake thermal efficiency and reduction in hydrocarbon (HC), carbon monoxide (CO) and smoke emissions, compared to that of neat diesel.However, nitric oxide (NO) emission are more for D85E15ACN.

The Impact

The present experimental study examines the impact of aluminium oxide nanoparticles (ALN) as additives in chicken waste oil biodiesel on a single cylinder diesel engine performance and emission characteristics. Different dosage of ALN was blended with chicken biodiesel (CB) using ultrasonic mixing in 200th by volume of biodiesel. The performance and exhaust emissions were evaluated using 100ppm, 150ppm and 200ppm aluminium oxide nanoparticles dosages blended chicken biodiesel for different brake power at a constant speed of 1500rpm and compared the results with diesel(B0) and 20% by volume of chicken biodiesel (CB20). Increased brake thermal efficiency and reduced brake specific fuel consumption were observed with the addition of aluminium oxide nanoparticles as compared to biodiesel blend and diesel at 3/4th of load. Also, reduced emissions hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide and increased NOX with ALN at full load. Overall, biodiesel with aluminium oxide nanoparticles improved the diesel engine performance and emissions characteristics with a slight increase in NOX.
