Abstract

Renewable and clean energy sources must replace conventional ones due to the dangerous effects of fossil fuel pollution. The impact of incorporating hydrogen and TiO2 nanoparticles into Soybean biodiesel and its CRDI engine performance was assessed in this study. For engine operations, a 10 L/min hydrogen flow and 75 ppm of the nanoparticle also used. Experiments comparing diesel engines running on clean diesel to those with a B15 biodiesel mix (75% diesel and 15% biodiesel) found that the latter had better performance, and combustion behaviour with the inclusion of both hydrogen gas and cenoxite oxide. Brake fuel consumption was 16.12% lower and brake thermal efficiency was 3.53% better than diesel at 80% loading condition. By incorporating nanoparticles and hydrogen into the biodiesel mixture, we were able to reduce CO emission by 30%, HC by 50%, and smoke by 42%. On the other hand, comparisons to diesel showed an 12.15% rise in NOx. A mix of hydrogen and TiO2 nanoparticles produced biodiesel with 9% greater in-cylinder pressure and 7% higher HRR. More power and efficiency from the engine are the outcomes of this blend's low ignition delay period under full load conditions. This experimental work has paved the path for diesel engines to run on biodiesel that is hydrogen-enriched and combined with nanoparticles.
