Abstract


Environmental concerns are a driving factor in alternative fuel development. Diesel and biodiesel are commonly utilized for engines; however, their emission causes significant pollution. Fuel additives are a promising method to reduce emissions. This research is emulsified water into diesel and biodiesel fuels per volume of 1%, 3%, and 5% to form W1, W3, and W5 for the diesel/water mixture and B30W1, B30W3, and B30W5 for B30/water mixture to evaluate their affection on performance and emissions. All blends exposed to an ultrasonication blender are to be homogeneous. A single-cylinder engine is utilized for experiments at 2000 rpm with different loads (0%- 80%) of full load. The results revealed that in 80% of the full load, the diesel/water blends achieved the highest NOx reduction. It considered the produced ACPA biodiesel to be an eco-friendly and clean fuel. It also gained better complete combustion at 80% load by lesser percent of CO emission of 23% relates to local-fossil diesel, and B30 recorded approximate brake specific fuel consumption at 80% of full load; therefore, the water surrogates with biodiesel through these percentages aren't reliable for performance and emission.
