Evaluation of CI Engine Performance and Emissions Using WB10CNT90: A CNT-Reinforced Biodiesel Blend Approach and its Marketing Prospects for sustainable fuel Commercialization
Abstract: The experimental and analytical evaluation of the WB10CNT90 blend—a combination of 10% waste biodiesel derived from Madhuca longifolia, 90% conventional diesel, and 100 ppm Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs)—demonstrates its potential as an efficient and eco-friendly alternative to conventional diesel. The Brake Thermal Efficiency (BTE) of the engine increased by approximately 15%, indicating enhanced energy conversion efficiency during combustion. Simultaneously, the Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC) showed a reduction of nearly …

Assessing the Impact of the Compression Ratio on Emission and Performance Attributes of Jatropha Biodiesel Fuelled VCR Engine.
Abstract: In the view of fast diminishing petroleum reservoirs and polluted environment, it’s the need of time to opt for a viable alternative to diesel fuel. Fuels derived from plant oils or animal fats are better alternatives to diesel fuels. The jatropha derived from the non-edible plant has proven its ability for being an alternative to conventional diesel. The variable compression ratio (VCR) technology is recognised for improving the performance, efficiency, …

Analysis of Engine Performance and Exhaust Emission Characteristics of VCR Engine Fuelled with Different Blends of Jatropha Biodiesel
Abstract: With the concern to global environment issues, researchers are encouraged to find alternate for scarce and rapidly diminishing fossil fuels. From the variety of options, fuels obtained from vegetable oils or animal fats have proven better alternate for petroleum fuels. Having its roots in agriculture, vegetable oils are capable to minimize overall СO addition to the atmosphere. Due to higher viscosity and low volatility compared to petroleum diesel, neat vegetable …

Evaluating the Effect of the EGR Rate on the Performance and the Emission of VCR Engine Operating on Jatropha Biodiesel Blends
Abstract: AbstractThe modern diesel engines running on biodiesel employ many techniques to encounter strict exhaust emission norms. Among the many techniques suggested to mitigate the NOX emission from the compression ignition engine, the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system is being employed extensively. The EGR curtails the proportion of the oxygen in the mixture and lowers the flame temperature inside the cylinder. This research is intended to investigate the influence of the …

Performance analysis of Butanol and Waste Cooking Oil bio-diesels in VCR diesel engine
Abstract: Global energy crisis is the key reason for switching to alternate fuels without compromising with environmental standards. This paper focuses on assessing the performance parameters viz. brake thermal efficiency (BTE), brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC), air/fuel ratio and torque against gradually increasing load (0-4 kg) for waste cooking oil (WCO) biodiesel, butanol biodiesel and neat diesel in a variable compression ratio engine. Three different blends of WCO and butanol, separately, …

Comparative Parametric Investigation of Methane, Propane, Butane, and Gasoline on Single Cylinder SI Engine to Improve its Performance and Emission Characteristics
Abstract: This paper presents the single cylinder SI engine based generator. The focus of this study is to use various alternative fuels like LPG (Propane), CNG (Methane), butane and comparing their performances with conventional fuel gasoline for SI engine. This study investigates that when using alternative fuels, the most prominent fuel in performance is methane, because performance is comparatively increasing and emissions are reduced. So, the methane (CH4) fuel is efficient, …
