Abstract
This study presents the use of bio-solution and nano-Titanium dioxide (TiO2) based additives for dosing in diesel and palm biodiesel (B5). The aim of this work is to enhance the performance of a direct injection (DI) engine and to simultaneously reduce the exhaust gas emissions. The basic properties such as kinematic viscosity, specific gravity, flash point, fire point, and carbon residue of the test fuels were measured and accepted in ASTM standards. Overall, diesel-bio-solution and diesel-TiO2 blends show the lower break specific fuel consumption by 13% and 10%, respectively and the lower exhaust gas emissions, as compared with diesel. B5-bio-solution blend provides the break specific fuel consumption decreased by 1.68%, while exhaust emissions were effectively increased in comparison with B5 fuel.
