- Abstract
This study investigates the potential of jute biodiesel blends with cerium oxide (CeO2) nanoparticles at a concentration of 50 ppm as an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional diesel fuel. Experimental evaluations are conducted on a diesel engine to investigate the impact of these blends on tailpipe emissions and engine performance. Various blend ratios (B10, B20, B30) are examined, focusing on parameters such as brake thermal efficiency (BTE), brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC), hydrocarbon (HC) emissions and nitrogen oxides (NOX) emissions. The findings reveal that the jute biodiesel blends with CeO2 nanoparticles exhibit improved BTE, reduced BSFC, lower HC emissions and higher NOx emissions compared to pure diesel. Specifically, blend B20 demonstrates the highest BTE with a value of 9.03% higher than pure diesel. The B30 blend showcases a remarkable reduction of 23.52% in HC emissions compared to diesel, while also emitting approximately 10.24% more NOx. These result highlight the potential of jute biodiesel blends with CeO2 additives for achieving cleaner and more efficient engine operations.
