Abstract

In the present study, an experimental investigation has been carried out with a single-cylinder four-stroke conventional engine using sardine oil methyl ester (SOME) and diesel with MnO2 nanoparticle at different load conditions. MnO2 nanoparticles of 25 ppm concentration were mixed with SOME and diesel with the aid of ultrasonication. Because of its long life and low heat conductivity, partly stabilized zirconium with a thickness of 0.5 mm is used as the coating material. Plasma spraying was used to coat the piston top face, as well as the inlet and outflow valves. MnO2 has a lot of promise, as well as good physical and chemical qualities, and it reduces emissions in diesel engines. The outcome of results showed that the performance was improved while using nanoadditive along with SOME. Break Thermal Efficiency, rate of heat release, and in-cylinder pressure of SOME with 25 ppm of MnO2 were increased by 7.5%, 9.2%, and 7.2%, respectively, as correlated with diesel, due to the oxygen particle available in the fuel and improved combustion process. The nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbon, and CO of SOME with 25 ppm of MnO2 were decreased by 11.5%, 42.5%, and 7.4%, respectively, as compared to the baseline fuel, because of low ignition delay and proper atomization during combustion. Hence, it is concluded that 25 ppm of MnO2 with SOME has improved the performance and significantly reduced the emission.
