Abstract

In recent years, the world's largest democracies have recognized the threat posed by vehicle pollutants to our ecosystem, particularly the emission of hazardous gases. As a result, they have taken steps to tighten emission standards for motor vehicles in order to reduce toxicity. Additionally, the rapid urbanization taking place worldwide has led to increased consumption of petroleum products, such as diesel and petrol, which are derived from crude oil. Unfortunately, the reserves of crude oil are limited, and the availability of natural gas stocks is also restricted. Therefore, it is crucial to explore alternative sources of energy. This study focuses on examining the effects of using biodiesel as an additive in diesel engines (D.E) to observe its impact on various performance parameters such as noise emissions, break thermal efficiency, fuel consumption, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide. By comparing the effects of biodiesel blended fuels with conventional diesel fuel, we can analyze the behavior of diesel engines. The result shows the study indicate that the use of biodiesel as an additive reduces noise emission levels compared to diesel fuel. Additionally, the analysis of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide emissions shows that biodiesel blended fuel results in lower carbon emissions when compared to traditional diesel fuel. These findings highlight the potential of biodiesel as a more environmentally friendly alternative in the context of diesel engines.
