Performance Parameter Analysis Of Diesel Engine By Using A Mixture Of Diesel, Jatropha Oil, Mno - Nanomaterial And A Suitable Antioxidant -A Review
Abstract
In today’s scenario of energy resources, conventional energy resources are depleting very fast and there is huge
energy demand. Diesel is used in almost all the fields like transportation, fright, construction, agriculture and port. So,
abundant amount of diesel fuel is required every day. Emission of pollutants is the major problem associated with the diesel
fuel. High Particulate Matter (PM) and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) emissions remains a challenge of technical issues for the
diesel engine today. It is important to save the fuel to compensate energy demand.The emission norms on internal
combustion engine are becoming more and more stringent with a view to improve the ambient air quality. Several
experiments are being conducted to mix diesel with some other appropriate material which can give some better result with
high performance parameter and comparatively less hazardous emission. Jatropha biodiesel has given a new edge in the field
of saving the conventional source of energy like diesel due to its various similar chemical properties with diesel. The use of
antioxidant additives not only slows down the oxidation processes but also improves the fuel stability up to a certain extent;
so calculated amount of antioxidant is mixed with diesel and jatropha blend. Nanometal oxide additives are reported to be
effective in lowering diesel emissions.
