Abstract

Economic uncertainty, price escalation and depletion levels of fossil fuels increases the day-to-day need to look for alternative fuel to meet the world’s energy needs. Biodiesel provides the best choice for energy in new world. Biodiesel can be a diesel fuel replacement. In this research, Biodiesel is made with the combination of cottonseed oil and diesel. To stabilize biodiesel and boost its properties, nano particles are added to improve fuel quality. In this study, Silicon oxide is mixed with biodiesel, evaluated and compared to existing diesel with its engine performance, and emission characteristics. Cottonseed oil biodiesel blends improved in properties high calorific value fuel attainment and elimination of toxic exhaust emission forming to the atmosphere by added silicon oxide nano particle promising technique for biodiesel/diesel use.
