In this paper, aluminum oxide nanoparticles as added with pongamaia biodiesel. Experimental study is focussed the performance and emission characteristics of a compression ignition diesel engine using biodiesel and biodiesel mixed with aluminum oxide nanoparticles as an additive in different proportions. The aluminum oxide nanoparticles promote complete combustion in the diesel engine. The experiments were conducted using biodiesel (B100) with aluminum oxide nanoparticles additive in proportions of BN100, BN200, BN300, BN400 and BN500 ppm at different brake power. Results were analyzed and compared with diesel, biodiesel, biodiesel with addition of aluminum oxide nanoparticles. Gas analyzer was used to measure the various gas pollutants. The test results showed that the addition of aluminum oxide nanoparticles with biodiesel has improved complete combustion of the fuel leading to better performance and reduced exhaust emissions like CO, HC, smoke and NOx when compared to diesel fuel.
