The Effects of Nano Additives on Performance and Emission Characteristics of A VCR Diesel Engine Fuelled with Diesel-Water Emulsion
Journal Title: International Journal of Mechanical and Production Engineering Research and Development (IJMPERD ) - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 4
Abstract
The present study investigates the performance and emission characteristics of single cylinder VCR diesel engine fuelled with nano additive blended diesel emulsion and the results are compared with neat diesel. The nano additives used for present investigation is AL2 O3 and CeO2 nanoparticles. The base fuels taken for the experimental work is diesel, water and surfactants (span 80 and Tween 80). The test fuels were prepared by using an ultrasonicator with emulsion technique. The nano additives added for the test fuel is in the ratio of 50 ppm (25ppm AL2O and 25ppm CeO2 ) and 100 ppm (50ppm AL2 O3 and 50 ppm CeO2 ). The entire investigation is conducted under constant speed and different load conditions. A substantial improvement in performance and a reduction in the exhaust emissions for the nano additive blended fuels compared to neat diesel were observed from the experimental results. For D88S2W10CA100 blend, optimum performance (BTH and BSFC) and emission (CO, NOx , UBHC and CO2 ) improvement were achieved as compared to other test fuels.
