Study on Emission and Performance of Diesel Engines by adding Nano Particles to the Blended Fuels
Main Article Content
Abstract
India has the world's second-largest population and the demand for transportation is increasing. However, our energy resources for car engines are limited. Every day, India consumed over 4.9 million barrels of crude oil. 85 percent of total oil consumption is imported from nations such as Iran, Saudi Arabia and Russia, among others. India is ranked third in the world. Despite our efforts to transition from internal combustion to electric power, India's electricity is heavily reliant on coal, which accounts for 55 percent of total production. As a result of this circumstance, jatropha biodiesel is being sought as a diesel engine alternative fuel. According to the Indian government, the country will spend about Rs 8 lakh crores on diesel and petrol imports in 2021, with this figure expected to rise to Rs 25 lakh crores in the next five years. The features of jatropha biodiesel with various percentages of blending with diesel fuel, such as B0, B5, B10, B15, B20, B30, B40, B50 and B100 are investigated in this work.
