Summary:

The search for a new renewable biofuel and aiming to make the environment clean is always a challenge for a researcher in developing a sustainable fuel for future mobility. In this context, vegetable oils are found as good alternative biofuels for diesel engines as they are biodegradable and renewable in nature. Most of the physio-chemical properties of vegetable oils are very closer to diesel. However, pure vegetable oils are expensive and using them to operate the diesel engine may affect the food supply chain. In view of this limitation, Waste Cooking Oil Methyl Ester (WCOME) derived from waste cooking oil is found to be very attractive solution for the above said constraints as they are easily available, renewable, economically and environmentally viable. This research aims at studying the effect of hybrid nano additives (id est Copper Oxide with Zinc Oxide) on performance and emission characteristics of a diesel engine fueled with Waste Cooking Oil Methyl Ester. The Copper oxide with Zinc oxide hybrid nano fluids were prepared by a novel wet chemical method. These nano fluids were prepared in two mass fractions (id est 50ppm and 100ppm) and blended with WCOME and considered as test fuels such as WCOMECZ50 and WCOMECZ100. The stability of hybrid nano fluids prepared by wet chemical method and their blends with WCOME was found good. The fuels diesel, WCOME, WCOMECZ50 and WCOMECZ100 were tested in the test engine at different loading conditions to evaluate the engine performance and emission parameters. The experimental results revealed that the addition of hybrid nano additives improved the flow properties which is reflected in terms of increased brake thermal efficiency. It is also observed that all carbon-based emissions were reduced with the addition of hybrid nano additives. Thus, it can be concluded that inclusion of hybrid nano additives pave way for effective utilization of WCOME in an unmodified diesel engine over a period of time
