The integration of hydrogen into biodiesel fuel for diesel engines has shown promising results in enhancing engine performance, improving combustion efficiency, and reducing emissions. The addition of hydrogen to biodiesel blends, such as those derived from sunflower, soybean, and waste cooking oil, has been found to significantly improve brake thermal efficiency (BTE) and reduce brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC). Hydrogen’s clean-burning characteristics contribute to a more complete combustion process, which is evident from the increased incylinder pressure and heat release rate (HRR). Hydrogen addition also plays a crucial role in emissions reduction. Studies have demonstrated a decrease in carbon monoxide (CO), unburned hydrocarbons (UHC), and smoke emissions when hydrogen is used in conjunction with biodiesel. However, a common challenge with hydrogen supplementation is the increase in nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions due to higher combustion temperatures. Overall, the use of hydrogen-enriched biodiesel blends in diesel engines offers a viable pathway to enhance performance and reduce harmful emissions, aligning with global efforts to develop sustainable and environmentally friendly fuel alternatives.
