Abstract

Abstract The rise in consumption, environmental emissions, and the cost of gasoline make energy recovery from trash a top priority. Not only can biodiesel meet energy demands, but it can also reduce greenhouse gas emissions, making it an important source of renewable energy. An experimental study of diesel and many different biodiesel blends was conducted to analyse their performance, emissions, and combustion characteristics. To prepare the emulsified fuel and go on with further experimental work, this effort aimed to identify the optimal biodiesel blends. The results of this paper showed that among all other biodiesel blends with various compositions, Syzygy Cumini (SC) biodiesel, 20% by volume with diesel (SC20), was the best mix. Based on the outcomes of performance, combustion, and emission metrics, it was selected. In comparison to other biodiesel blends, the SC20 biodiesel produced brake thermal efficiency that was nearly as high as that of diesel. With the exception of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions, the emission parameters were likewise determined to be lower than those of other biodiesel blends.
