Abstract

As fossil fuel is depleted day by day, there is a vast gap in the market and supply of fuel to the different industries that consume oil. In order to improve fuel properties, performance, combustion, and emissions from diesel engines, microalgae oil biodiesels are used as fuel with 20% of diesel on a mass basis by volume and 50 and 100 ppm of CeO2 nanoparticles as additives in combinations of biodiesel/diesel blends. The engine configuration consists of a single-cylinder, four-stroke, 3.5 kW, 1500 rpm diesel engine. Experiments were performed at constant speed on experimental test fuels for various load conditions. The addition of cerium oxide (CeO2) in the added biodiesel diesel blends improved the brake thermal performance (45%) compared to engine output. With CeO2 in the B20 blends, better combustion properties were observed, such as increased length of combustion (36 CA°), ignition delay (16 CA°), and heat release rate (55 J/deg) in the cylinder. The enhanced and improved fuel characteristics and combustion characteristics of CeO2 in the added biodiesel diesel blends minimise HC (0.54 g/kWh) and CO (4.6 g/kWh) emissions and smoke (0.61%) while increasing NOx (10.2 g/kWh) emissions from the engine cylinder.
