Present
study provides the effect of Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanoparticle fuel additives on
the performance and emission characteristics of a Grape Seed Oil Methyl Ester
(GSOME). Biodiesel blended fuel is prepared by the emulsification technique
with the aid of a mechanical agitator. Prepared biodiesel emulsion fuels were
mixed with the ZnO nanoparticles in the mass fractions of 50 and 100 ppm with
the help of an ultrasonicator. Fuel properties of D80B20 (80% Diesel + 20% GSOME),
D80B20ZnO50 (80% Diesel + 20% GSOME + 50 ppm ZnO nano particles) and
D80B20ZnO100 (80% Diesel + 20% GSOME + 100 ppm ZnO nano particles) were
analyzed and compared according to ASTM standard test methods for biodiesel.
Tests were performed at a constant speed of 1500 rpm. Acquired data were
studied for various parameters, such as Brake Power (BP), Brake Thermal
Efficiency (BTE), Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC), Exhaust Gas Temperature
(EGT), exhaust emission of Carbon monoxide (CO), Hydrocarbon (HC), Carbon
dioxide (CO2), Oxides of nitrogen gases (NOx) and smoke density.
