In this work, experimental investigation was carried out to test the performance and emission characteristics of a CI engine using diesel and cotton seed oil methyl ester blended fuel (COSME20) along with titanium oxide nano particles as an additive in biodiesel blends. The titanium oxide nanoparticles promote the combustion process that results in more oxidation of CO and reduces HC emission. The engine test was conducted with various blends of diesel and biodiesel with and without nanoparticles, namely B20 (20% biodiesel + 80% diesel), BN20 (20% biodiesel + 80% diesel + 20ppm), BN40 (20% biodiesel + 80% diesel + 40ppm) at different loads. The test results showed that the addition of titanium oxide nanoparticles in diesel and biodiesel blends improved combustion and reduced the exhaust gas emissions significantly.

In this present paper, an attempt has been made to examine the performance and emission characteristics of a single cylinder diesel engine fueled with blends of mixed biodiesel (Thevetia peruviana, Neem, Jatropha, Pongamia). Experiments were conducted with various blends of mixed biodiesel in CI engine for different loads. The results show that lower brake thermal efficiency and higher brake specific fuel consumption were obtained with mixed biodiesel blends when compared with diesel. Lower the value of CO and HC and higher the value of CO2 emissions were determined for mixed biodiesel blends compared to that of diesel. Also, higher in NOx and lower smoke opacity were found compared to diesel.
