Description
Summary:As the fossil fuels reserves are reducing at a faster rate as a result of the population growth and the ensuing energy utilization, in recent years, an urgent need to find renewable alternative fuels has emerged. The danger of global warming and the stringent government regulations have attracted the engine manufacturers and the consumers in improving combustion of fuels and following safer emission norms to save the environment from pollutions and also save fossil fuels for coming population. These limitations have led researchers towards finding alternative sources of energy and ways to improve their combustion for producing energy.in this investigation the experiment was carried out using camelina biodiesel (5%,10%,20%,25%,30%) with addition of silicon oxide as a nano catalyst. camelina biodiesel prepared by transesterification process. Addition of additives lowered the harmful emissions significantly with a trivial increase in NOx emissions to the sample 1 compare with other samples blends.
