Abstract

Study on the exploitation of nano-materials has produced promising results in several applications, including medicine and reversing ecological damage. ZnO nanoparticles are added to diesel and biodiesel blends in this investigation. The primary purpose of this investigation was to examine the impact of ZnO nanoparticle incorporation on engine outcome measures. Developing countries are currently investing in the development of better diesel and petrol better options. In the present investigation, diesel is merged with biofuel made from neem oil at a range of mixtures (5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%), with ZnO nanoparticles added to the B25% mixture at a range of percentages (25, 50, 75, 100 ppm). The chemical composition and utility of these combinations are examined. Increases in biodiesel and ZnO nanoparticle mixtures are followed by increases in calorific value and kinematic viscosity. As more biofuel and zinc oxide nanoparticles were introduced, BTE and BSFC in the performance test rose.
