Studies on the effects of nano-additive based biodiesels on low- and high-pressure injection assisted diesel engine performance, combustion and emission characteristics
Author(s): N. R. Banapurmath
The potential of use nanoparticles like aluminium oxide, grapheme oxide, Zinc oxide, Cobalt and Manganese as fuel additives was investigated on different non-edible derived biodiesels and their blends with diesel. The biodiesels such as dairy scum oil methyl ester (DSOME), Honge oil methyl ester (HOME) and Simarouba oil methyl ester (SuOME) were selected for the study and their B20 blends were prepared using diesel respectively. The Nano-fuel blends were prepared by dispersing different nanoparticles in varying quantities in a B20 blends (20% biodiesel and 80% diesel). Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), an anionic surfactant, was used for a stable dispersion of different nanoparticles in the fuel blends. Biodiesel (B20) fuels with concentration levels of 20, 40, 60 and 80 ppm of different nanoparticles (Biodiesel20, Biodiesel2040, Biodiesel2060 and Biodiesel2080) with varying ratios of SDS..
