Description 2315-2319
 Present study provides the
effect of Cerium Oxide (CeO2) nano fuel additives on the
performance, combustion 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 CeO2 nanoparticles in the mass fractions
of 50 and 100 ppm with the help of an ultrasonicator.  Fuel properties of B20 (80% Diesel + 20%
GSOME), B20CeO250 (80% Diesel + 20% GSOME + 50ppm CeO2), B20CeO2100
(80%Diesel + 20% GSOME + 100ppm CeO2) and neat biodiesel were
studied and compared according to ASTM standard test methods for biodiesel. Study
is carried out at a constant speed of 1500rpm. 
Experimental results show a significant improvement in the performance
and a reduction in harmful emissions for the CeO2 nano additive
biodiesel emulsion fuels compared to those of B20.
