Part of the book series: Green Energy and Technology ((GREEN))

Abstract

Biodiesel are produced from plant derivatives and are highly potent in usage instead of diesel in diesel engines due to their low emissions which significantly reduce the environmental impacts and can use as fuel for diesel engines deprived of any alterations. The major drawback of biodiesel is associated with NOx and smoke reduction. Emulsified fuels are known to have high potent in reducing harmful emissions into atmosphere. Nitrogen oxides (NOx) and smoke are the major pollutants released through diesel combustion. Using water emulsions in biodiesel reduces the nitrogen oxide and smoke emissions. Span 80 is used as surfactant during emulsion to stabilise the whole blend. Nanoparticles increases the combustion rate and provides the combustion stability. Water is mixed with biodiesel in different proportions to study the emulsion stability, characteristics and performance. Water in biodiesel emulsion contains water range of about 5–15%. By literature survey and experimental analysis, we found that 5% water emulsion in biodiesel blend.
