Effect of phenol group antioxidant on performance & emission characteristic of diesel engine fueled with diesel-jatropha biodiesel blend-A review study

IC engine & automobile engineering

In conventional CI engine diesel is used as a fuel which provide better power, efficiency and BSFC. But it increase the CO2, CO, HC, SOX and NOx emission. Which affect the environment and human health. It causes global warming and greenhouse effect and responsible for acid rain too. Also diesel fuel is nonrenewable energy resources and increase our dependency for importing fuel on other country. Due to depleting the fossil fuel and increasing effect of environment pollution from this fuel demands an eco friendly alternative which can be used in diesel engine without any major modification. So this study present a detailed analysis of the green alternative of diesel fuel jatropha-Biodiesel fuel blends whose performance is optimum among the biodiesel diesel fuel and shows lower emission compare to diesel fuel but its limitation is high emission of NOx and storage stability of biodiesel blends is tried to nullify by selecting phenol group antioxidant with different proportion. so in this review we have according to studies phenol group antioxidant is most promising solution for storage stability and NOx reduction of jatropha biodiesel-diesel fuel.
