THE EFFECTS OF NANOADDITIVES ON A SINGLE CYLINDER DIESEL ENGINE USING PROSOPIS JULIFLORA BIODIESEL.

V., Arunachalam; P., Naveenchandran; P., Balu

This study looks at how a Prosopis Juliflora methyl esterpowered one-cylinder direct injection diesel engine burns, works, and gives off emissions when titanium nanoadditives are added at two different concentrations: 25 ppm and 50 ppm. The test engine should be run at 1500 rpm continuously with 17.5 compression and 23-degree BTDC timing. A magnetic agitator and an ultrasonic converter are used to mix aluminium nano-additive materials. Due to the high surface-to-area-volume ratio of alumina particles with smaller-scale alumina nanometrics, combustion is boosted and emissions are minimised, according to experimental studies. Furthermore, the alumina blend greatly improved brake thermal efficiency, lowering fuel consumption by 6.56 percent initially and 7.37 percent thereafter. In terms of combustion efficiency, this leads to a modest reduction in NOx, CO, HC, and smoke emissions.
