Abstract: Due to the depletion of non-renewable fossil fuels there are many alternative fuels introduced today, one of alternative fuel used is Bio-Diesel , but Bio-Diesel has low performance characteristics and not commercially used , Therefore in my experiment I am using algae based biodiesel with blends of Diesel additives and experimental investigation is done to find the engine performance and emission characteristic of a compression ignition engine by using organic materials also some other alcoholic substances as additives to diesel-biodiesel blends .The use of algae as bio-diesel is studied and it has been tested to obtain increased performance and low emission. The Brake thermal efficiency (Bthe) will be increased and the specific fuel consumption (SFC) level will be reduced , The engine emission is noted to have reduced emission of hydrocarbon(HC) emission, Nitrogen oxide(NOx) emission, Carbon monoxide(CO) emission , It is done first by using pure diesel as base fuel, and then by adding nanoparticles to the diesel-biodiesel blends, which is the modified fuel . Both the fuels and compared based on their performance test and Emission test
Keywords: Bio-Diesel, (Bthe), (SFC), (NOx) (CO), (HC)
