Comparing the effects of Juliflora biodiesel doped with nano-additives on the performance of a compression ignition (CI) engine: Part A

In lieu of the fact that modern-day research is saddled with responsibility replacing/supplementing fossil fuels biodiesel for use in diesel engines, challenge still remains need to improve properties biofuels towards stimulating high engine compatibility and performance. Despite advances made improving such as those sourced from Juliflora additives, none seems have addressed potentials underly hybrid nano-particles property-improvers Juliflora-biofuel engines. This then led harness potential CeO 2 :CuO, MnO :Al O 3 , ZnO:TiO TiO different ratios a means determining best combination improved fuel properties, performance reduced emissions. The nanoparticles were produced via sol-gel method ultrasonicated biofuel before being characterized using scanning electron microscopy/atomic force microscopy. Based on engine-test results, brake thermal efficiency (BTE) increased 1.11 2.21% mixed nanoparticles. Furthermore, Nitrogen oxide (NO x ), hydrocarbon (HC) carbon monoxide (CO) emissions admixed decreased by 16.29–23.76%, 14.07–17.32% 5.51–8.27% respectively compared conventional diesel, thus reducing environmental pollution. • NOx, CO, HC lower nano-doped relative standard fuels. .
