Popis: The present investigation aimed at the effects of addition of titanium dioxide nanoparticles with Pongamia pinnata biodiesel blends in a diesel engine as nanocatalysts, to overcome few disadvantages of biodiesel. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles were biosynthesized using neem leaf extract and were dispersed into the biodiesel blends using ultrasonicator. The proportion of doping of nanocatalysts with biodiesel blends was optimized. It was observed that brake power and brake thermal efficiency of the CI engine increased by 7.83 % and 4.2 % respectively, for B20TiO250 as compared to B20 whereas, CO and CO2 emissions decreased.
