Influence of Aluminium Oxide Nanoparticles in a Compression Ignition Engine with Simarouba Biodiesel

Abstract

The current study reports outcome of aluminium oxide nanoparticles blend biodiesel fuel on the performance and emission distinctiveness of a compression ignition engine. The biodiesel is formed from Simarouba oil by transesterification method and blended with 50ppm Aluminium oxide nanoparticles. The entire analysis is carried out in invariable speed CI engines with four phase's pure diesel, diesel+50pppm Aluminium oxide nanoparticles, blended biodiesel (S20) and S20+50pppm Aluminium oxide nanoparticles. The outcome revealed a significant improvement in brake thermal efficiency and reduction in brake specific fuel consumption, carbon monoxide (CO), unburnt Hydrocarbons (UHC). But there is also small percentage increase in oxides of nitrogen emissions.
