Performance and emission characteristics of high speed diesel engine blends with carbon nanotubes added ethanol-diesel

Abstract

The principle criteria of this experimental work is to study and examine the performance and emission characteristics of a single cylinder 4 stroke KIRLOSKAR AV1 Diesel engine with the carbon nanotubes expansion mixes of ethanol and diesel. The variety in execution parameters and emanations, because of the expansion of nanoparticles was examined by the experimentation. In this work, a 50ppm grouping of carbon nanotube (CNT) was added to the mixes of ethanol and diesel to discover the varieties when contrasted. Absolutely, three unique kinds of mixes were readied, named as E1050CNT (ethanol 10%, diesel 90%,50ppm CNT), E2050CNT (ethanol 20%, diesel 80%,50ppm CNT) and E3050CNT (ethanol 30%, diesel 70%,50ppm CNT), to gauge the execution parameters like Specific fuel consumption(SFC), Brake warm efficiency(BTE) and qualities of emanations like CO, HC, CO2 and NOX at a steady speed of 1500 rpm at different heaps of 3kg, 6kg, 9kg and 12kg to make examination with diesel. At the point, when the outcomes contrasted and diesel the SFC was expanded, BTE is marginally lessened and the emanations like CO, HC and CO2 were diminished, yet NOX was somewhat expanded with the nano-ethanol-diesel mixes. The outcomes from the analysis demonstrates that the coveted states of execution parameters like SFC and BTE were acquired with E10CNT50 mix and a critical abatement in outflows was gotten with E30CNT50 mix. At last, it is prescribed to utilize the nano-ethanol-diesel mixes for a diesel motor as a satisfactory and reasonable elective fuel with no changes.
