Abstract
This work investigates the detailed study on emission characteristics of Compression Ignition Engine (single cylinder, four-stroke Direct Injection) fuelled with diesel, Mustard oil biodiesel (MOBD) and Aluminum oxide nanoparticle (Al2O3). Adding a nanoparticle with biodiesel (MOBD Al2O3100) revealed a decrease in HC and CO emission by 2.2 and 4.3% respectively when compared with neat MOBD at all loads conditions. Smoke and NOx emissions were decreased by 3.4 and 4.8 respectively due to rapid evaporation of air–fuel mixtures resulting shorten ignition delay period.
