Abstract
Modification in the both base biofuel and engine design is highly distinctive to accomplish extent fuel conversion efficiency for the biodiesel-operated diesel engine. In the present study, the effect of aluminium oxide (Al2O3) (75 ppm) nanoparticles on the performance of baseline (unmodified) and modified diesel engine is studied. The experimental results are compared with those of the baseline engine run with sole 20% dairy scum biodiesel (B20) and petro–diesel. From the study, it is clear that the modified engine run with 75-ppm Al2O3 blended biodiesel has revealed the better performance than the baseline engine run with sole B20 fuel blend.
