Optimization of Bauhinia parviflora biodiesel production for higher yield and its compatibility assessment with water and Di-tert-butyl peroxide emulsion.

The current study aims to attain a higher yield of biodiesel from Bauhinia tree seed wastes through process optimization using response surface methodology (RSM) and assess its compatibility in the diesel engine blended with water and Di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP). The Bauhinia parviflora biodiesel (BPB) transesterification originated using a fixed quantity of catalyst, and the transesterification process parameters such as oil-molar ratio (OMR), process temperature (PT), and reaction time (RT) were optimized. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)analysis were applied to characterize and quantify the BPB, and ASTM standards were followed to measure the properties.

Performance, Emission, and Catalytic Activity Analysis of ALO and CEO Nano-Additives on Diesel Engines Using Mahua Biofuel for a Sustainable Environment.

Diesel engines are particularly harmful to the environment due to the high levels of pollution they release. This led to the discovery of a sustainable and environmentally friendly fuel source. Mahua oil transesterified into biofuel seems to be the most popular option.

Influence of Areca Nutshell-Reduced Graphene Oxide, Isopropanol, and Exhaust Gas Recirculation in an Internal Combustion Engine.

Regulations governing pollution, declining fossil fuel supply, and technological breakthroughs in renewable fuels all have a profound influence on the development of alternative fuels. This current research focuses on the influence of nanoadditives with alcohol in an exhaust gas recirculation-cooled engine. As nanoadditives have high thermal conductivity and alcohol has high oxygen content, they work synergistically to speed up the catalytic process and increase the combustion rate.

Dataset for the combined effect of cetane improver and water emulsion on energy, environmental and economic values of a diesel engine fueled with lemon peel oil.

The present dataset describes the combined effect of cetane improver and water emulsion on the energy, environmental and economic values of a diesel engine fueled with lemon peel oil (LPO). The LPO was derived from waste lemon peels through a steam distillation process, and the water was blended with LPO using mechanical agitation along with a suitable surfactant. The water concentration in LPO was limited by 20% with an equal interval of 10, and the 2-Ethylhexyl nitrate concentration was limited by 2% on the total volume of the fuel.
