Experimental investigation on influence of metal based additives on performance, combustion and emission parameters of diesel engine

Abstract

A biodiesel substitute for regular diesel is widely seen as having greater social advantages, such as decreasing greenhouse gas emissions and sustaining rural agriculture economies, than conventional diesel fuel. As a natural fuel, biodiesel has a variety of feedstocks such as vegetable oils and animal fats. A biodegradable material made from fatty acid esters such as methyl and ethyl. Oils such as palm oil, soya bean oil, sunflower oil, etc., produce the majority of today's biodiesel fuels due to their eco-friendliness and sustainability.. Transesterification of waste chicken fat oil to produce biodiesel in a 1:1 ratio, followed by testing the performance and emission characteristics of a C.I engine running on the biodiesel. There will be three distinct proportions of B10, B20, and B30 blends of biodiesel with diesel and 100 ppm of metal oxide (sio and nio) additive in order to improve fuel ignition and cold starting. When using Conventional Diesel at 180 bar, performance measures such as Brake Power (BP), Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC), and NOx, HC, and CO emission characteristics of the stated engine at 1500 rpm are analysed. The B20 Biofuel sample was shown to be the most efficient and economical compared to the other two samples, B10 and B30. Nickle oxide and silicon oxide nanoparticles in the B20 blend are particularly interesting due to their features such as improved heat transfer rate.
