Comparative Study of Effect of EGR on Performance with the Addition of Nano Additive (FERROUS OXIDE) in Biodiesel (Karanja Methyl Ester)

Abstract

Research on the effects of nanoparticle additions in diesel, biodiesel, and water-emulsified fuels on engine performance and emission characteristics is summarised in this publication. The exhaust gas emissions of a Diesel engine can be decreased in two ways. An exhaust gas treatment device, such as a catalytic converter or diesel particulate filter, is the first line of defence in the war on pollution. However, the usage of such devices diminishes the efficiency of a Diesel engine. The use of a fuel additive is the second strategy for enhancing the efficiency of a CI engine and decreasing emissions. Nitrogen oxide (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) are the primary emissions from a diesel engine. However, simultaneous regulation of NOx and PM is challenging. Researchers agree that using nanoparticle additions and water-emulsified fuels is the most effective strategy for reducing emissions and maximising engine efficiency. Using various nano particle additions, this study also describes the use of biodiesel fuel as an alternative to diesel fuel. Researchers have compared the impacts of diesel and biodiesel fuels with and without water contents and nano particles as additives, finding that both fuels had similar effects on a wide range of attributes. Dosing nano particles additives in diesel and biodiesel has been claimed to boost engine performance and reduce emission characteristics by the majority of researches.
