Abstract
AbstractIn this study, effects of iron oxide (Fe3O4) and hydrogen (H2) additions into 20% sunflower biodiesel + 80% diesel (B20) operated compression ignition engine performance and emissions are evaluated. Diesel fuel (D) is selected as a reference fuel for comparison purpose. Reduced performance level with B20 can be recovered with use of nanoparticle and hydrogen due to their superior combustion characteristics. In comparison to diesel, B20 mixture has caused to reduction on power by 6.44% while addition of nanoparticle and hydrogen (H_B20_Fe) have increased power by 5.76%. B20 mixture led to decrease carbon monoxide (CO) emission by 7.92% whereas nanoparticle and hydrogen addition have caused further decrement by 12.35% compared to diesel. Diesel shows best nitrogen oxides (NOx) emission characteristics of all. Increment levels are 7.24% and 12.94 for B20 and H_B20_Fe, respectively.
