Exploring the Potential of Emulsified Biodiesel Derived from Juliflora for Sustainable Transportation
Main Article Content
Abstract
The diminution of diesel fuel and its harmful impact on the environment have intensified the search for alternative fuels. Biodiesel, with various blend combinations and emulsions, is a promising substitute. This study investigates the effects of adding 5%, 10% and 15% water by volume to a blend of Juliflora biodiesel (B20) on a diesel engine. B20W10 emulsified fuel showed the highest brake thermal efficiency as 32.84%. B20W15 had the lowest CO emission as 0.09% when compared to 0.1% for diesel fuel.
