Abstract

ABSTRACT This work examines the impact of butanol addition to Mahua oil Biodiesel (MOBD) in a diesel engine to view its effect on emission characteristics. Two fuel samples were prepared using a novel surfactant Span 80, with different concentrations (94% Mahua oil + 4% butanol + 2% Span 80 (MOBD1) and 90% Mahua oil + 8% butanol + 2% Span 80 (MOBD2)). Experimental results showed that the CO and NOX emission are reduced by 4–11% and 6–10% of Mahua oil butanol samples compared to neat MOBD. Further, the introduction of MOBD-butanol emulsions in diesel engine reduces the emissions.
