Nanoparticles as additive in biodiesel on the working characteristics of a DI diesel engine
Open accessAbstract
This experimental work investigates the performance, combustion and emission characteristics of a single cylinder direct injection (DI) diesel engine with three fuel series: biodiesel–diesel (B20), biodiesel–diesel–nanoparticles (B20A30C30) and biodiesel–nanoparticles (B100A30C30). The nanoparticles such as Alumina (Al2O3) and Cerium oxide (CeO2) of each 30 ppm are mixed with the fuel blends by means of an ultrasonicator, to attain uniform suspension. Owing to the higher surface area/volume ratio characteristics of nanoparticles, the degree of mixing and chemical reactivity are enhanced during the combustion, attaining better performance, combustion and emission attributes of the diesel engine. The brake thermal efficiency of the engine for the nanoparticles dispersed test fuel (B20A30C30) significantly improved by 12%, succeeded by 30% reduction in NO emission, 60% reduction in carbon monoxide emission, 44% reduction in hydrocarbon emission and 38% reduction in smoke emission, compared to that of B100.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
