Abstract

In this work, titanium dioxide (TiO2) nano-fluid was blended with aphanizomenon Flos (AF) biodiesel blend in order to investigate the emission behaviour of compression ignition engine. Three different percentages of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nano-fluid was blended with aphanizomenon Flos (AF) biodiesel (20%) – diesel (80%) blend. Taguchi method was used to find the optimum level of titanium dioxide nanofluid. ANOVA was used to find the contribution of factors on the exhaust emission. As TiO2 content increases in AFD - TiO2 blend, NO emission of the engine increases. Correlation among the significant factors on the response was done using multiple linear regression equation.
