EXPERIMENTAL EVALUATION FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF VCR DIESEL ENGINE BY USING CALOPHYLLUM INOPHYLLUM BIO DIESEL WITH NANO ADDITIVES OF ALUMINIUM OXIDE

Day by day vehicle population in the world is increasing and usage of fossil fuel is also increasing. The countries like INDIA are depending on other countries for the petroleum-based fuel and it will affect the development of the country also. The India has lot of resources to produce Liquid alternate fuels like Ethanol, Methanol, and BioDiesel etc. The viscosity of the Bio diesel is high compared to diesel fuel. So, due to high viscosity the atomization of fuel is less causes poor combustion, high in emissions. To overcome these problems Nano metal oxides are utilizing as a fuel additive in fuels for increasing the combustion as well as to reduce the emissions. The metal oxides like zinc oxid0e (ZnO), Cerium Oxide (CeO2), Aluminum Oxide (Al2O3) will donate the oxygen molecule in lattice structure during combustion process causes proper combustion. The present work is to check the performance, parameters of a CALOPHYLLUM INOPHYLLUM bio diesel and its blends (CIB10, CIB20, CIB30 and CIB100), results are compared with the diesel fuel. The aluminum oxide is added to the best blend at a proportion of 25 ppm,50 ppm and 75 ppm and the performance and emissions parameters are investigated.
