Influence of the aluminium oxide (Al2O3) nano particle additive with biodiesel on modified diesel engine performance

Abstract

Modification in the both base bio-fuel and engine design is highly distinctive to accomplish extent fuel conversion efficiency for the biodiesel operated diesel engine. In the present study, effect of aluminium oxide (Al2O3) (75 ppm) nanaoparticles on the performance of baseline (unmodified) and modified diesel engine is studied. The experimental results are compared with baseline engine run with sole 20% dairy scum biodiesel (B20) and petro-diesel. From the study, it is cleared that modified engine run with 75-ppm Al2O3 blended biodiesel has revealed the better performance than the baseline engine run with sole B20 fuel blend.
