Abstract

Increased consumption of oil in a spectrum of uses currently poses a significant risk to worldwide level of exhaust emissions. Considering this problem requires considerable thought. As a result, the development of alternate fuels has become necessary. Bio-diesel is a renewable fuel made from mono - alkyl esters. This laboratory investigation contains a comparison analysis to ascertain the impact and operational features of nano fuel additives. The study focused on the mixing of rape seed oil based bio-diesel with silicon dioxide (SiO2), a nanoparticle based enhancer, in order to determine its influence on diesel burning IC engine's performance. Various nano-mixture proportions were produced using nano-SiO2 particles with bio-diesel. The fuel used in the tests was bio-diesel mixer containing 25% of rape seed oil in diesel with 0.1%, 0.2%, and 0.3% SiO2 nanoparticles in bio-diesel. The output metrics such as brake power and exhaust emission levels were determined for the tested bio-diesels with different nano-SiO2 proportions. The bio-diesel with the 0.2% SiO2 nanoparticles yielded the better result in terms of brake power and emission characteristics of the engine comparing to the other blends.
