Abstract
Abstract
Abstract This study investigates the performance and emissions of CuO nanoparticle‐enhanced corn oil biodiesel (BD20) in a CI engine to optimize performance and emissions. The amount of CuO nanoparticles added ranged from 25 to 100 ppm, and different loading conditions were employed. The outcomes suggest that incorporating nanoparticles significantly improves brake thermal efficiency, which increased by approximately 50.5% under the optimum condition, indicating a positive effect due to higher combustion efficiency, heat transfer, and catalytic activity. These higher combustion temperatures and more intense oxidation reactions resulted in slightly higher carbon monoxide (CO) emissions by approximately 25% and nitrogen oxides (NO x ) emissions by approximately 12.3%, on average. The Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was used to model the multi‐objective optimization. The optimum load was 10.56 kg, and the optimum concentration was 100 ppm, with a desirability value of 0.768, indicating a balance between emission enhancement and reduction. The study has shown that the combustion characteristics of biodiesel are greatly improved by the addition of CuO nanoparticles, making it an attractive alternative fuel for CI engines with emission compromises that need to be carefully managed.
