Abstract

In this work it is aimed to test the performance of cotton seed oil biodiesel with cerium oxide (CeO2) nanoparticles as additive. This work goes through the various stages like production of biodiesel, addition of nanoparticles with the biodiesel-diesel blends in different proportion using ultrasonicator, testing the effect of nano additives on physiochemical properties of the fuel blend, testing the stability of fuel blend with nano particles, testing the performance and exhaust emission in diesel engine. The blends B10 (90% diesel and 10% biodiesel in volume), B20 (80% diesel and 20% biodiesel in volume), B20+50ppm (80% diesel and 20% biodiesel and 0.05 gm/l cerium oxide) in volume, B20+100ppm (80% diesel and 20% biodiesel and 0.1 gm/l cerium oxide) in volume, B25 (75% diesel and 25% biodiesel) in volume were prepared. From the performance test results, the cotton seed oil fuel blended with cerium oxide shows increment in brake power 4.5kW 4.68kW and brake torque of 18.43 Nm and 18.52 Nm with 50 ppm and 100 ppm respectively. Addition of CeO2 improved exhaust emission compared to pure diesel (B0). The brake specific fuel consumption of cotton seed fuel blended with cerium was decreased compared to the diesel. Generally, it may be concluded from the experimental investigation that the cotton seed oil biodiesel fuel blended with cerium oxide nanoparticle can become a good alternative to petro-diesel.
