Abstract

Rapid increase in the rate of fossil fuel depletion has raised concerns all over the world. People are starting to use alternative renewable fuels along with the fossil fuels. One of the largely used alternative fuels is the biodiesel, which can be used directly along with the diesel without making much modification to the engine. The commonly observed disadvantages while using biodiesel- diesel blends are increased emission. The aim of this work is to study the effect of adding nanoparticles in a biodiesel- diesel blend on the performance and emission attributes of a diesel engine. Biodiesel obtained from orange peel, corn, mustard, neem, mahua, cashew nut shell oil is used in this paper. It is observed that the fuel consumption and emissions such as NO, CO and smoke are decreased for these blends.
