Performance and Emission Characteristics of Biodiesel with CaO Nanocatalyst
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
With the depletion of fossil fuels worldwide, country has been sort for different fuel opportunities which can enrich the vehicle and give the best operating performances as like normal fuel sources. Hence the best way is the alternative fuels like Biodiesel, Castor, Jatropha, Pongamia Pinnata oil and other edible and non-edible oils respectively. As like chemical reactions increasing in this world, reactions like homogenous and heterogeneous reactions are also increasing in the world which is also best suitably can be used in alternative fuels as catalysts. Nanoparticles are also being used in some kinds of alternative fuels as safer environment process. In this proposed project we are using edible or non-edible castor oil with synthesised calcium oxide (CaO) as nanoparticles respectively. Calcium oxide nanoparticles are synthesised by using solution combustion method and urea as an additional fuel for the process and conducted several tests such as SEM, XRD and FTIR spectrum rays are also been examined.
