Abstract
The rising demand for sustainable energy solutions has prompted research into alternative fuels and advanced technologies aimed at enhancing engine performance and minimising emissions. Al oxide (Al2O3) nanoparticles' impact on performance and emission properties of compression ignition (CI) engines driven with co-pyrolytic bio-oil is investigated in this paper. Derived from biomass pyrolysed, co-pyrolytic bio-oil presents a renewable substitute for conventional diesel but suffers lower energy density and more emissions. Prominent for their catalytic and thermal characteristics, Al₂O₃ nanoparticles have showed potential in improving performance and lowering of hazardous emissions. Existing paper is compiled in this work to show the processes by which Al₂O₃ nanoparticles enhance engine performance and reduce emissions. Investigation also points up areas of research lacking and suggests potential paths for the integration of nanotechnology into biofuel uses.
