Abstract

The need of alternate fuel for the reason is demand of fossil fuel and environmental degradation in all over the world. Biodiesel plays an important role because of its potential and availability in the environmental degradation and present energy crisis. The main objective of this experimental work is to reduce the emission without affecting the engine performance with alternate fuel. In this paper, the experimental analysis engine was run by B20EEGAO (20% ethyl ester of ground nut acid oil) with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) in the proportions of 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 ppm. Five samples of MWCNT with B20EEGAO blend are prepared with the help of ultrasonicator. The important results smoke density of MWCNT30ppmB20EEGAO blend was 50 HSU at maximum load. The CO emission of MWCNT30ppmB20EEGAO blend is reduced in 20%, and HC emission is reduced for 15% compared to diesel. The observed results were that the brake thermal efficiency was higher in MWCNT30ppmB20EEGAO compared to biodiesel, and emission was also reduced except oxides of nitrogen. The best blend selected is MWCNT30ppmB20EEGAO compared to other blends.
