For the present study, Titanium Dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2) are used as the nanoadditves with Pongamia Pinnata biodiesel as the base fuel. The nanofuel samples are prepared by dispersing 25ppm, 50ppm, 75ppm and 100ppm of TiO2 nanoparticles in the B20 blend and sonicating the mixture using a Probe Sonicator. Performance test and emission test are conducted in a VCR computerized CI engine for the nanofuel blends to optimize the concentration of nanoparticles in the base fuel. From results obtained B20+75ppm TiO2 nanofuel sample is considered as the optimum blend among all other blends tested under the same conditions. It is observed that the percentage increase in Brake Thermal Efficiency (BTE) for B20+75ppm TiO2 fuel sample is 2.38% when compared to BTE value of B20 blend without nanoparticles. B20+75ppm TiO2 fuel sample shows a 2.89% reduction of BSFC when compared to B20 blend. A slight increase in NOx emission of 4.9% for B20+75ppm TiO2 blend is observed compared to the B20 blend. Smoke emission reduced by 10.22% for B20+75ppm TiO2 as compared to B20 blend. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
