Abstract
AbstractPollution-induced environmental deterioration is one of the serious aspects that must be solved. As a result, biodiesel was made from a novel material (Parsley seed oil) through an alkali-induced transesterification reaction. The efficiency, as well as exhaust emission tests, were performed by running the prepared parsley biodiesel blends (mixture of biodiesel and diesel fuel in different proportions) in an engine. The ideal blend for enhancing engine performance was discovered to be B20, which displayed steady performance attributes without requiring any modifications to the diesel engine. The B20 parsley biodiesel blend had fewer emissions than diesel, notably hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide except for nitrogen oxides and carbon dioxide. B20 Parsley blends were also shown to emit less pollution than other blends (B5 and B10). A high reduction in CO, CO2 and HC emissions for B20 was recorded at 33.9%, 29.73%, and 11.38% relative to diesel except for NOx. Brake-specific energy consumption decreases and thermal efficiency of the engine increases for all biodiesel blends. In addition, from the performance results, BTE and BSFC of B20 are relatively close to those of pure diesel fuel (B0). The use of parsley biodiesel as a diesel engine fuel was shown to be a promising strategy to promote the use of green fuels (biofuels from renewable materials) while simultaneously mitigating the release of toxic greenhouse gases from the combustion of fossil fuel.
