Abstract:

Conventional fuels used in IC engines, such as diesel, petrol, etc., are on the verge of extent. Bio-diesel acts as an alternative to conventional fuels as it is renewable, biodegradable, nontoxic, and less polluting. The present study explores the effect of several blends of biodiesel and nanoparticles on engine emission and performance. Experiments were carried out for the nanoparticles Graphene Oxide (GO) concentrations of 20ppm and 40ppm with mangoseeed biodiesel blend of 15% and 30% at different varying engine loads of 25- 100% (with an increment of 25% ) operated at 5% and 10% EGR. Ultrasonicator was used for the preparation of biodiesl blends with graphene oxides. Engine performance like bth,bsf, CP, NHRR, the mass of fraction brunt and emission characteristics such as NOx, HC, CO2, CO and smoke opacity were examined. Sample B15GO40ERG5% shows the best results among all the samples tested. CO, CO2, HC, NOX, smoke were 0.09%, 2.9%, 20 ppm, 171 ppm, 6.5%, bsfc and ɳbth were 0.3 kg/KWh and 28.5%.

Keywords:
