Abstract

Abstract : This study focuses on the effect of particle size of Titanium oxide (TiO2 ) nanoparticle on the emissions characteristics of diesel engine fuelled with neat honge biodiesel (HBD100). Titanium oxide as an additive in various particle-sizes of 50 and 100 nm is included to HBD100 and termed as HBDTiO2 50 and HBDTiO2 100. The experimental result proved that the CO and HC emissions are lower for HBD100 than diesel at max BMEP. TiO2 nanoparticle further reduces CO and HC emissions for HBDTiO2 100 than HBD100. NOX emission in HBD100 is higher at max BMEP. When compared to HBD100, tailpipe NOx and smoke emission was found to be lower when fuelled with HBDTiO2 50 and HBDTiO2 100.
