Biodiesel Production from Brassica napus Seeds and Its Characterization in Diesel Engine with Nano Additives

The frequency of carbon fuel consumption is extremely high and rising quickly, ultimately increasing the air pollution level. Due to increasing environmental pollution levels, researchers are looking for greener, cleaner alternatives to diesel fuel for diesel engines. This study concentrated on the synthesis, characterization, and consequences of Brassica napus biodiesel on diesel engine performance and emissions. Brassica napus biodiesel has the same necessary physicochemical properties as diesel fuel. Then, a diesel engine was used to compare diesel fuel emissions and performance parameters with Brassica napus biodiesel. According to the research results, B10 fuel from Brassica napus biodiesel performs better than straight diesel fuel. The effective concentration of biodiesel in diesel blends was increased by adding nano additives to a specific amount of biodiesel blends. This study examined the effects of nano-Al₂O₃ additions on the B20 mix of Brassica napus biodiesel in single-cylinder direct-injection diesel engines. Biodiesel blends complete combustion and inherent oxygen, significantly lowering emissions than standard diesel. The B20 blend of Brassica napus biodiesel has demonstrated a higher overall performance. The biodiesel blend using the Nano additives showed a notable reduction in emissions.
