Abstract
The current work implies the influence of copper chloride (CuCl2) and cobalt chloride (CoCl2) nanoparticle dosed diesel-linseed oil biodiesel blend (B20) to assess the performance and emissions characteristics of a direct injection diesel engine. Three distinct proportions of nanoparticles were added to B20, namely 50, 75, and 100 ppm independently for CuCl2 and CoCl2. QPAN 80 dispersant was added to nanoparticles at a quantity of 100 ppm and played out an ultrasonication process. The stability test was performed in two particular periods like Day1 and Day 15. The performance concerning brake thermal efficiency (BTE) was enhanced with nanoparticle (CuCl2 and CoCl2)-dosed dispersant-mixed B20. Similarly, the brake-specific fuel consumption (BSFC) was also specified less. Besides, the emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), unburnt hydrocarbons (UHC), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and smoke emissions were seen lower with the nanoparticle addition. At the utmost load, the maximum BTE was improved by 8.28 and 5.06%, while the BSFC was reduced by 1.42 and 0.91%, respectively, for B20 + 75 ppm CuCl2 + dispersant and B20 + 75 ppm CoCl2 + dispersant. Similarly, the CO, UHC, NOx, and smoke were dropped down drastically for B20 + 75 ppm CuCl2 + dispersant by 65.7, 22.7, 40.37, and 15.5%, respectively, while for B20 + 75 ppm CoCl2 + dispersant, it was decreased by 57.1, 24.5, 39.08, and 10.07% respectively.
