Improving performance and emissions characteristics of compression ignition engine: Effect of ferrocene nanoparticles to diesel-biodiesel blend

The impact of different concentrations of ferrocene nanoparticles to diesel and B30 (30%biodiesel and 70% diesel) base fuels on performance, combustion characteristics, and CO2 and NOx emissions characteristics of a compression ignition (CI) engine is investigated. The biodiesel was prepared through esterification and transesterification processes to waste frying oil. A 4-stroke, air-cooled, single cylinder CI engine was used to perform these...
