INVESTIGATION OF LEMON SEED OIL BIODIESEL WITH CERIUM OXIDE NANOPARTICLE IN CI ENGINE

Because of increasing automobiles, power plants and factories, increasing
of this automobiles, power plants produce the more emissions like CO, HC
and NOx. So that the world is searching for the alternative fuel, which will
not create any harm to the environment and also it would be less in cost.
Biodiesel is one of the main solutions to the global energy crisis. In this
present work studied the performances and emission characteristics of
Lemon Seed Oil Bio-diesel (GSO). Use of additives for better combustion
characteristics to the biodiesel. The blends of Lemon Seed oil (GSO) with
the additives Aluminum oxide are B10+20 PPM CeO2, B20+20PPM CeO2,
B30+20 PPM CeO2. This blends were analyzed and their performance and
emissions characteristics compared with performance and emission
characteristics of diesel. Tests were carried out over entire range of engine
operation at varying conditions of load. The engine exhaust gas emissions
are reduced with increase biodiesel concentration
