Optimization of biodiesel production from Azolla pinnata: investigation of CI engine characteristics using nano dosed biodiesel

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this study, Al 2 O 3 nanoparticles were included in the Azolla pinnata methyl ester blend (AME30) in different concentrations (25 ppm, 50 ppm and 75 ppm) to analyze the effects on single-cylinder diesel engine. Box-Behnken design (BBD) based on RSM was used for production process optimization. The maximum biodiesel yield of 90.77 % attained at methanol-oil molar ratio (20:1), catalyst (3 wt%) and temperature (75 ˚C). The experiments were performed in a 3.75 kW Kirloskar diesel engine at a constant speed of 1500 rpm with Al 2 O 3 dosed biodiesel blends (AME30+Al25, AME30+Al50 and AME30+Al75), and outcomes were compared with pure diesel and AME30 blend. The corresponding test fuel properties were examined with ASTM standards. As a result, the AME30+Al50 test fuel has improved BTE and reduced BSEC compared to other test fuels. Subsequently, the highest reduction of HC (24.4 %), CO (21.24 %) and smoke opacity (15.25 %) was observed for AME30+Al50 at full load condition compared to diesel results.
