Abstract
Nano fuel was prepared by trans-esterification of the pure cottonseed oil mixed with ethanol (99%) and KOH as a catalyst. The physical and chemical properties of cottonseed oil blended with Single-walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNT) and Ethanol Dispersion for possible fuel in the single-cylinder 4 stroke diesel operated engine was characterized through ASTM standards for fuel tests. The experiment was conducted to investigate the emission, combustion and performance behavior of single cylinder with the help of nano fuels blended with SWCNTs. The blended fuel is used to investigate while pure cottonseed oil was used for reference data acquisition. The SWCNTs and Ethanol dispersion were blended with the mass of the cottonseeds oil in the amount of 30 and 60 PPM by the help of homogenization tools followed by an ultrasonic bath. The experiment conducted with the help of experimental set-up having a single- cylinder direct ignition 4 stroke diesel operated engine connected with a cartridge smoke meter, eddy current dynamometer, load, data acquisition and gas analyzer MRU 1600s. All experiment was investigated at 1500 RPM and outcomes show the increase in calorific value, substantial decrease in the harmful gases and brake thermal efficiency because of the uses of SWCNTs in the cottonseed oil was found
