Experimental Investigation of Engine Performance for 2nd Generation Biodiesel Derived from Mg2Zr5O12 Catalyst

In the present study, experimental analyses were conducted by using biodiesel derived from second-generation feedstock. terms of cost and accessibility, feedstock has gained more attention due to its environmental approach. Waste-cooking-oil-derived methyl ester was produced through a transesterification reaction in presence synthesized magnesium zirconate (Mg2Zr5O12) heterogeneous catalyst. This trans-esterified waste cooking oil (WCO) used as blended with diesel 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50% volume ratio for further analysis. The fuel properties pure investigated flash point, density, kinematic viscosity, lower heating value per American Society Testing Materials (ASTM) D-6751 standards. For each fuel, engine performance gaseous emissions trend loads 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 kg measured on Kirloskar TV1 IC engine. results indicated that 40% maximum brake thermal efficiency (BTE) 19.13% exhaust gas temperature (EGT) 6.98% increment, also showing an increase respect load. On other hand, brake-specific consumption (BSFC) highest blending 36.48% increase, decreases loads. Significant reductions carbon monoxide (CO) unburned hydrocarbon (HC) observed 34.78% 38.1% reduction, respectively. CO HC decreased Meanwhile, reverse trends dioxide (CO2) nitrogen oxide (NOx) have been 14.57% 27.85% increases 100% biodiesel. CO2 NOx increased mass balance factor crude purified studied show suitability product. Overall, showed can be substitute advantage over fuel. main contribution this work is improve emission recyclable catalyst waste-cooking-oil
