Performance and Emissions Characteristics of Diesel Engine Run on Citrullus Colocynthis Biodiesel with Zinc Oxide Additive

The planet faces many big environmental and fossil fuel depletion problems at a higher pace, with the car market rising exponentially. This culminated in the development of a reprocessing and ecological substitute fuel for many researchers. One such solution to the problem is known as biodiesel. The argument is strengthened by biodegradability, low volatility, a high amount of cetanes and no emissions of sulphur. Although a significant number of experiments have been performed in this field with a wide range of non-edible oils in many gasoline mixtures, all these studies are carried out mainly in agricultural compression motors. That is our research reports on the production of Citrullus Colocynthis oil (CCO) blended with zinc oxide nanoparticle, through the transesterification of Citrullus Colocynthis seed oil and an extensive, experimental and comparative analysis of automobile engine performance, combustion and emissions with various biodiesel combinations developed as a fuel.
