ASSESSMENT OF EMISSIONS AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF USING FIG WASTE BIOALCOHOL/NANOPARTICLE FUEL IN A TRACTOR WITH A COMMON RAIL SYSTEM DIRECT INJECTION

Abstract

This study investigates the potential benefits of using bioalcohol and nanoparticle-enhanced fuel derived from fig waste in a direct injection common rail tractor. The aim of this study is to understand how these alternative fuels derived from agricultural waste affect emissions and the environment. Engine performance and emission levels were tested when running on fig waste bioalcohol mixed with nanoparticles. The results showed a significant reduction in harmful emissions such as NOx and CO compared to conventional diesel. Furthermore, the sustainability of using fig waste as biofuel was examined, highlighting its potential to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and its positive impact on the environment. This research supports the development of renewable energy sources and promotes sustainable agricultural practices.
