Abstract
The proposed experimental work substantially targets the denouement of graphene nanoparticles (GNP’s) addition to jatropha seed methyl ester-diesel meld fuel (JSME20-20% jatropha methyl ester + 80% diesel) to explore the performance and emission characteristics. The GNP’s are infused at assorted aggregations like 25, 50, 75, and 100 parts per million (PPM) to JSME20 with ultrasonicator. The results revealed a significant intensification in brake thermal efficiency (BTE) and recede in brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) for the JSME20 with 50 PPM addition of graphene nanoparticles. The detrimental emissions such as NOx, CO, HC, and smoke are cut back at all load conditions for the graphene nanoparticles added JSME20 than JSME 20. The use of GNP’s in the jatropha biodiesel mix is suggested for future diesel engine applications.
