| Abstract: | The usage of biodiesel blends is restricted due to its low fuel consumption and high thermal NOx. The current study exhibits the usage of four different fuel additives methanol, ethanol, diethyl ether, and NiO nanoparticles in Neem biodiesel blend (NB25) to shore up the usage of neem oil methyl ester. Performance and emission experimentation of a compression-ignition engine fueled with NB25 having fuel additives were conducted at varying injection opening pressures (180, 210, and 240 bar) and static injection timings (19°, 23°, and 27° bTDC). The results indicate that when NiO fuel additives were doped in the NB25 blend, high peaks of NOx were found with betterment in performance features with a lower CO and HC emission. |
