Experimental analysis of nano additive blended in Mahua oil biodiesel on engine characteristics

Fossil fuel depletion and environmental degradation are currently facing the planet. Increased automobile, power plants, and factories emit more carbon monoxide (CO), unburnt hydrocarbon (HC), and nitric oxide (NOx) emissions as a result of increased automobiles, power plants, and factories. As a result, the globe is looking for an alternative fuel that will not hurt the environment and will also be less expensive. It should also be renewable resources. It pushes the car into the next generation. Vegetables, which satisfy the need for physical and chemical qualities of mineral diesel in the current context. When vegetable oil is used in a diesel engine, it has a negative impact on performance and durability. As a result, the oil should be converted to biodiesel. Transesterification is a useful procedure for changing the properties of raw oil. One of the most essential solutions to the global energy dilemma is biodiesel. The performance and emission parameters of Mahua oil bio-diesel were investigated in this study (MOB). Additives are used to improve biodiesel's combustion properties. Tests were conducted across the whole spectrum of engine operation and under various load circumstances. Engine performance factors like as specific consumption, braking thermal efficiency, and exhaust gas emissions are reduced as biodiesel concentration is increased. MOB blends can be used to replace diesel in diesel engines used in transportation and agriculture. Copyright (C) 2022 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
