Persistent uses of naturally available fuels are exhausting quickly and accumulation of CO2 occurs in the environment due to its burning. Transport fuels that are carbon neutral and renewable are necessary for both environmental and financial sustainability. An alternative to fossil fuels that is renewable and carbon neutral is biodiesel made from oil crops. Non-edible oil such as Karanja biodiesel (KBD) is easily available in India and is very cheap compared to edible oils. However, the utilization of KBD in a diesel engine is limited due to high viscosity and lesser evaporation rates. The rate of evaporation of fuel plays a significant part in engine combustion. Nanoparticles such as Al, CuO, CeO and CNT are used in KBD and its emulsions to improve the evaporation rate. The present investigation has been conducted to evaluate the evaporation attributes of nanoparticle suspended KBD with and without water. When nanoparticles were added, the evaporation rate of KBD and its emulsions improved. In summary, the incorporation of nanoparticles leads to an increase in the rate of evaporation.
