Abstract
This research work is related to performance and emissions analysis of diesel in combination with the
water hyacinth biodiesel with TiO2 as a nano-additive. This study also proposes water hyacinth
biodiesel (WHB) as a possible alternative energy source because the species is extensively dispersed in
freshwater, marine, and aquatic ecosystems worldwide. Investigation is performed comparing TiO2
nano-additive blended with water hyacinth biodiesel and diesel at various engine loads. WHB was
mixed with petroleum diesel fuel in various volume proportions of WHB20D80, WHB20TiO2 25 ppm,
WHB20 TiO2 50 ppm, WHB20 TiO2 75 ppm and WHB20 TiO2 100 ppm and their properties were
examined in accordance with ASTM criteria for use as biofuel in diesel engines. The comparison is
made with diesel and blends of water hyacinth biodiesel, diesel, and TiO2 nano-additive fuel. It is
concluded that with the increase in the concentration of TiO2 nanoparticles in the given blend of
biodiesel there is an increase in BTE at full load condition. The comparison is made with diesel and
blends of water hyacinth biodiesel, diesel, and TiO2 nano-additive fuel. It is concluded that with an
increase in the concentration of TiO2 nanoparticles in the given blend of biodiesel there is an increase
in BTE at full load condition combustion and decrease in BFSC and increase in EGT. The test result
projected that WHB20 TiO2 100 ppm lies closer to the biodiesel in terms of thermal efficiency. Adding
nano additives TIO2 shows that CO emissions, HC, CO2.
