In this present study, biodiesel is a cleaner burning alternative fuel to the
Neat diesel fuel. However, several studies are pointed out that increase in
NOx emission for biodiesel when compared with the Neat diesel fuel. The aim
of the present study is to analyze the effect of antioxidant
(p-phenylenediamine) on engine emissions of a Diesel engine fuelled with
methyl ester of annona oil. The antioxidant is mixed in various
concentrations (0.010 to 0.040% (w/w)) with methyl ester of annona oil.
Result shows that antioxidant additive mixture (MEAO+P200) is effective in
control of NOx and HC emission of methyl ester of annona oil fuelled engine
without doing any engine modification.
