Summary: The experimental study found that adding hydrogen can improve the combustion performance of compression ignition engines, while increasing the concentration of nanoparticles significantly improves brake thermal efficiency and reduces emissions. However, a slight decrease in NOx was observed under 75% engine load condition without the addition of nanoparticles.

Summary: The study explored the impact of using Botryococcus braunii microalgae mixed with diesel, finding that adding nanoparticles to the microalgae blends can enhance the brake thermal efficiency and reduce brake specific fuel consumption. The addition of mixed fuel with nanoparticles also increases cylinder pressure and heat release rate, while decreasing emissions of CO, HC, and CO2, although NOx emissions remain high despite engine speed for the B30 blend.

Summary: The main purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of oxy hydrogen (HHO) along with the Moringa oleifera biodiesel blend on engine performance, combustion, and emission characteristics. The results show that adding HHO gas to the blend can reduce fuel consumption and the concentration of CO, HC, and CO2 emissions, but does not reduce the formation of NO. However, adding HHO to the biodiesel can significantly reduce the average NOx.

Summary: Results of the study showed that using B10 biodiesel blend significantly improved engine performance, with a maximum engine efficiency of 33.98%, lower than neat diesel. The brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) for diesel engine using B10 biodiesel blend increased by only 2%, while using B20 and B30, BSFC increased to about 4% and 6%, respectively.

Summary: Studies have shown that biodiesel can be a viable alternative to conventional diesel fuel with many advantages. However, issues such as low energy generation, increased fuel use, and NOx emissions need to be addressed. The use of environmentally friendly nano-additives can help achieve biodiesel with improved quality, performance, and emission characteristics. In this study, engine performance and emissions were evaluated using blends of Karanja and Safflower oil, with the addition of copper oxide nanoparticles.
