Abstract

Emulsions of diesel and water are often prompted as being able to overcome the difficulty of
simultaneously reducing emissions of both oxides of nitrogen and particulate matter from diesel engines. In this
work, the performance of an engine together with its effect on environment were when engine was powered by
both pure diesel and emulsified fuel with various quantities of water content in the diesel fuel. The amount of
water quantities added in 5%, 10% and 15% by volume. The engine speed during the experimental work was
within the range from 1500 rpm. While producing similar or greater thermal efficiency and improved NOX
emission outcomes use of the emulsion also results in an increase in brake specific fuel consumption. It was also
found that, at high amount of water addition, the nitrogen oxide decreases. Also, in general, the diesel emulsion
fuel emitted an amount of CO2 higher than that of pure diesel
