Performance and exhaust emissions of a CI engine using Bi2O3 nano blends as an alternate Caulerpa racemosa algae oil biofuel

World at giving is stood around the twin problems of fossil oil product intake and normal degradation. The purpose of this research is actually to examine the behaviour of C. racemosa algae oil biodiesel within a diesel engine. Biodiesel is an unparalleled earth-friendly source meant to extend the worth to fossil fuels, and also the durability and cleanliness of diesel-powered engines. C. racemosa algae may be used to make biodiesel, only because of high oil content. The transesterification of the oil produces biodiesel. The abundant benefits of biodiesel tend to get over by few disadvantages like the increase in the nitrogen oxide, its incompatibility at cold temperature conditions, and also the regular periods of engine parts replacement. Generally, there is additional scope for the improvement in fuel properties and also to overcome the disadvantages by the addition of nanoparticles as fuel additives. In the current study, the Bi2O3 nano additives inside algae oil-based methyl ester blend as well as its diesel blends are examined the performance and emission characteristics at various loads.
