Anxiety of greenhouse gases and exigency of conventional fuels is an attractive exploration reneged to the researchers view, turn towards alternative fuels. The present work is to demonstrate on performance, combustion and emission characteristics of 20% Karanja Methyl Ester (KOME) blend (B20) and hydrogen with 5, 10, and 15 lpm (liters per Minute) of low flow rate on a dual fuel mode direct injection diesel engine operated at 1500 rpm with rated power output of 3.5 kW. The experimental test were conducted at three various injection operating pressure of 200, 220, and 240bar. The obtained data of above test were compared with base line pressure of diesel at 200 bars. Higher brake thermal efficiency, less brake specific fuel consumption, lower HC, and CO emissions with raised concentration of NOx were obtained at IOP of 240 bars for B20- hydrogen dual fuel mode. The current analysis discovered that the IOP of 240 bars for 15 lpm hydrogen flow rate with B20 dual fuel approach was optimum.
The document experimentally investigates the performance, emissions, and combustion characteristics of a diesel engine fueled with blends of biodiesel extracted from mahua oil. Various blends from 10-50% mahua biodiesel were tested and compared to diesel. The brake thermal efficiency was highest for B30 and the brake specific fuel consumption was lowest for B30 at full load. Carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons decreased with increased biodiesel content while NOx increased. Cylinder pressure and heat release rate were comparable or higher for biodiesel blends compared to diesel. Overall, B30 performed best with reduced emissions and higher efficiency compared to other blends and diesel.

Enhancing the Performance & Emission for the Blend of Diesel & Pyrolysis oil ...ijsrd.com
Increase in energy demand, stringent emission norms and depletion of oil resources led the researchers to find alternative fuels for internal combustion engines. Many alternate fuels like Alcohols, Biodiesel, LPG, CNG etc. have been already commercialized in the transport sector. In this context, pyrolysis of solid waste is currently receiving renewed interest. The disposal of waste tyres can be simplified to some extent by pyrolysis. The properties of the Tyre pyrolysis oil derived from waste automobile tyres were analysed and compared with the petroleum products and found that it can also be used as a fuel for compression ignition engine. In the present work, blends of Diesel-Tyre pyrolysis oil was used in a diesel engine without any engine modification. The entire work is concentrated to enhance the performance and emission parameters of C.I. engine for the blend of Diesel and pyrolysis oil of tyre. To enhance the performance the effect of supercharging was used. The experiment is carried out on C.I. engine using pure diesel and various blends such as TPO10, TPO20 and TPO30 at normal atmospheric pressure and at different supercharged pressures 1.2 bar, 1.4 bar and 1.6 bar and results were compared. It is observed from the results that at supercharged pressures 1.2 bar and 1.4 bar, the performance parameters like brake thermal efficiency and brake specific fuel consumption and emission parameters like emission of CO and HC have been improved. But the emission of NOx was not improved as there is rise in peak temperatures of combustion due to supercharging the emission of NOx increases.

A comparison analysis between neat diesel (petro-diesel) and neat Hydnocarpus Pentandra (Marotti) biodiesel has been carried out on a direct injection diesel engine. The biodiesel has been produced from raw Hydnocarpus Pentandra oil by transesterification process by adding methanol and base catalyst. The optimum nozzle pressure of 250 bar and static injection timing of 20° bTDC are considered because these conditions only were found to give minimum emissions and better performance. The engine performance and emissions of diesel engine fuelled with neat diesel and neat Hydnocarpus Pentandra (Marotti) (or) Marotti Oil Methyl Ester (MOME) results are compared and presented. From the test results, it could be noted that, neat MOME gives lower emissions such as hydrocarbon and oxides of nitrogen as compared to neat diesel for all load under steady state condition of the engine.

A comparison analysis for different flow rates of urea-water selective catalytic reduction (SCR) has
been carried out on a direct injection diesel engine. An optimum nozzle opening pressure of 250 bar and static
injection timing of 20°bTDC is considered because these conditions only were found to give minimum emissions
and better performance. An engine set up with SCR is made to study the influence of SCR on reduction of
emissions from the diesel engine. The volume flow rate of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 ml/minute have been used with a
mixture of 30% urea and 70% water as SCR for the entire experiment. From the test results, it could be noted
that, among all flow rates, the volume flow rate of3 ml/minute gives better performance, combustion and lowest
emissions. Among the blends, B100 gives lowest emissions of smoke density and hydrocarbon as compared to without SCR. But in the presence of SCR, there is a drastic reduction in NOx of 17.81% for B100 as compared
to without SCR at full load condition of the engine

A comparison analysis for different flow rates of urea-water selective catalytic reduction (SCR) has
been carried out on a direct injection diesel engine. An optimum nozzle opening pressure of 250 bar and static
injection timing of 20°bTDC is considered because these conditions only were found to give minimum emissions
and better performance. An engine set up with SCR is made to study the influence of SCR on reduction of
emissions from the diesel engine. The volume flow rate of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 ml/minute have been used with a
mixture of 30% urea and 70% water as SCR for the entire experiment. From the test results, it could be noted
that, among all flow rates, the volume flow rate of3 ml/minute gives better performance, combustion and lowest
emissions. Among the blends, B100 gives lowest emissions of smoke density and hydrocarbon as compared to without SCR. But in the presence of SCR, there is a drastic reduction in NOx of 17.81% for B100 as compared
to without SCR at full load condition of the engine

The Statutory Interpretation of Renewable Energy Based on Syllogism of Britis...AI Publications
The current production for energy consumption generates harmful impacts of carbon dioxide to the environment causing instability to sustainable development goals. The constitutional reforms of British Government serve to be an important means of resolving any encountered incompatibilities to political environment. This study aims to evaluate green economy using developed equation for renewable energy towards political polarization of corporate governance. The Kano Model Assessment is used to measure the equivalency of 1970 Patents Act to UK Intellectual Property tabulating the criteria for the fulfillment of sustainable development goals in respect to the environment, artificial intelligence, and dynamic dichotomy of administrative agencies and presidential restriction, as statutory interpretation development to renewable energy. The constitutional forms of British government satisfy the sustainable development goals needed to fight climate change, advocate healthy ecosystem, promote leadership of magnates, and delegate responsibilities towards green economy. The presidential partisanship must be observed to delineate parties of concerns and execute the government prescriptions in equivalence to the dichotomous relationship of technology and the environment in fulfilling the rights and privileges of all citizens. Hence, the political elites can execute corporate governance towards sustainable development of renewable energy promoting environmental parks and zero emission target of carbon dioxide discharges. The economic theory developed in statutory interpretation for renewable energy serves as a tool to reduce detrimental impacts of carbon dioxide to the environment, mitigate climate change, and produce artefacts of bioenergy and artificial intelligence promoting sustainable development. It is suggested to explore other vulnerabilities of artificial intelligence to prosper economic success.

Ethiopia has a long and rich history of dairy farming, which was mostly carried out by small and marginal farmers who raised cattle, camels, goats, and sheep, among other species, for milk. Finding the Itang Special Woreda cow milk value chain is the study's main goal. In order to gather primary data, 204 smallholder dairy farmer households were randomly selected, and the market concentration ratio was calculated using 20 traders. Descriptive statistics, econometric models, and rank analysis were used to achieve the above specified goals. Out of all the participants in the milk value chain, producers, cafés, hotels, and dairy cooperatives had the largest gross marketing margins, accounting for 100% of the consumer price in channels I and II, 55% in channels III and V, and 25.5% in channels V. The number of children under five, the number of milking cows owned, the amount of money from non-dairy sources, the frequency of extension service contacts, the amount of milk produced each day, and the availability of market information were found to have an impact on smallholders' involvement in the milk market. Numerous obstacles also limited the amount of milk produced and marketed. The poll claims that general health issues, sickness, predators, and a lack of veterinary care are plaguing farmers. In order to address the issue of milk perishability, the researchers recommended the host community and organization to construct an agro milk processor, renovate the dairy cooperative in the study region, and restructure the current conventional marketing to lower the transaction and cost of milk marketing.
Minds and Machines: Impact of Emotional Intelligence on Investment Decisions ...AI Publications
In the evolving landscape of financial decision-making, this study delves into the intricate relationships among Emotional Intelligence (EI), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Investment Decisions (ID). By scrutinizing the direct influence of human emotional intelligence on investment choices and elucidating the mediating role of AI in this process, our research seeks to unravel the complex interplay between minds and machines. Through empirical analysis, we reveal that EI not only directly impacts ID but also exerts its influence indirectly through AI-mediated pathways. The findings underscore the pivotal role of emotional awareness in investor decision-making, augmented by the technological capabilities of AI. It suggests that most investors are influenced by the identified emotional intelligence when making investment decisions. Furthermore, AI substantially impacts investors' decision-making process when it comes to investing; nevertheless, AI partially mediates the relationship between emotional intelligence and investment decisions. This nuanced understanding provides valuable insights for financial practitioners, policymakers, and researchers, emphasizing the need for holistic strategies that integrate emotional and technological dimensions in navigating the intricacies of modern investment landscapes. As the synergy between human intuition and artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integral to financial decision-making, this study contributes to the ongoing discourse on the symbiotic relationship between minds and machines in investments.0
Bronchopulmonary cancers are common cancers with a poor prognosis. It is the leading cause of death by cancer in Algeria and in the world. Behind this unfavorable prognosis hides numerous disparities according to age, sex, and exposure to risk factors, ranking 4th among incident cancers and developing countries including Algeria, all sexes combined. It ranks 2nd cancers in men and 3rd among women. Whatever the age observed, the incidence of this cancer is higher in men than in women, however the gap is narrowing to the detriment of the latter. The results of scientific research agree to relate trends in incidence and mortality rates to tobacco consumption, including passive smoking. Furthermore, other risk factors are mentioned such as exposure to asbestos in the workplace or to radon for the general population, or even genetic predisposition. However, the weight of these etiological and/or predisposing factors is in no way comparable to that of tobacco in the genesis of lung cancer and the resulting mortality. We provide a literature review in our article on the descriptive and analytical epidemiology of lung cancer.

Haphazard and low soil fertility, low yielding verities and poor agronomic practices are among the major factors constraining onion production in the central rift valley of Ethiopia. Therefore, a field experiment was conducted in East Showa Zone of Adami Tulu Jido Combolcha district in central rift valley areas at ziway from October 2021 to April 2022 to identify appropriate rate of NPSB fertilizer and planting pattern of onion varieties. The experiment was laid out in split plot design of factorial arrangement in three replications. The main effect of NPSB blended fertilizer rates and varieties (red coach and red king) significantly (p<0.01) influenced plant height, leaf length, leaf diameter, leaf number and fresh leaf weight, shoot dry matter per plant, and harvest index. Total dry biomass, bulb diameter, neck diameter, average fresh bulb weight, bulb dry matter, marketable bulb yield, and total bulb yield were significantly (p<0.01) influenced only by the main effect of NPSB blended fertilizer rates. In addition, unmarketable bulb yield was statistically significantly affected (p≥0.05) by the blended fertilizer rates and planting pattern. Moreover, days to 90% maturity of onion was affected by the main factor of NPSB fertilizer rate, variety and planting pattern. The non-fertilized plants in the control treatment were inferior in all parameters except unmarketable bulb yield and harvest index. Significantly higher marketable bulb yield (41 t ha-1) and total bulb yield (41.33 t ha-1) was recorded from 300 kg ha-1 NPSB blended fertilizer rate applied. Double row planting method and hybrid red coach onion variety had also gave higher growth and yields. The study revealed that the highest net benefit of Birr, 878,894 with lest cost of Birr 148,006 by the combinations of 150 kg blended NPSB ha-1 with double row planting method (40cm*20cm*7cm) and red coach variety which can be recommendable for higher marketable bulb yield and economic return of hybrid onion for small scale farmers in the study area. Also, for resource full producers (investors), highest net benefit of Birr 1,205,372 with higher cost (159,628 Birr) by application of 300 kg NPSB ha-1 is recommended as a second option. However, the research should be replicated both in season and areas to more verify the recommendations.

With the increasingly frequent use of imaging methods such as mammography and ultrasound as well as breast biopsy, cases of hamartoma diagnosed are increasing. The diagnosis of these lesions is made by mammography. The histological and radiological aspects are variable and depend on its adipose tissue content. The identification of these lesions is important in order to avoid surgical excisions. We report radio-clinical and pathological records of breast hamartoma.

Ovarian cancer is relatively common but serious and has a poor prognosis. The aim of this study is to highlight the epidemiological, diagnostic, therapeutic and evolutionary aspects of this malignant pathology managed at the Bejaia university hospital center. This is a retrospective and descriptive study over a period of 3 years (2019 - 2022) carried out on 20 patients who developed ovarian cancer. The average age of the patients was 50 years old, 53.23% of whom were over 45 years old. The CA-125 blood test was positive in 18 out of 20 patients. The tumors were discovered on ultrasound in 87.10% of cases and at laparotomy in 12.90%. Total hysterectomy with bilateral adnexectomy was the most performed procedure (64.52%). The early postoperative course was simple. 15 patients underwent second look surgery (16.13%) for locoregional recurrences. Epithelial tumors were the most frequent histological type (93.55%), including 79% in the advanced stage ( IIIc -IV) and 21% in the early stage (Ia- Ib ). Adjuvant chemotherapy was administered in 80% of patients. With a median follow-up of 36 months, 2 patients were lost to follow-up. The evolution was favorable in 27.42% and in 25.81% deaths occurred late postoperatively. Ovarian cancer is not common but serious given the advanced stages and the high rate of late postoperative deaths which were largely observed in patients deprived of adequate neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy.

Cultivating Proactive Cybersecurity Culture among IT Professional to Combat E...AI Publications
In the current digital landscape, cybercriminals continually evolve their techniques to execute successful attacks on businesses, thus posing a great challenge to information technology (IT) professionals. While traditional cybersecurity approaches like layered defense and reactive security have helped IT professionals cope with traditional threats, they are ineffective in dealing with evolving cyberattacks. This paper focuses on the need for a proactive cybersecurity culture among IT professionals to enable them combat evolving threats. The paper emphasis that building a proactive security approach and culture can help among IT professionals anticipate, identify, and mitigate latent threats prior to them exploiting existing vulnerabilities. This paper also points out that as IT professionals use reactive security when dealing with traditional attacks, they can use it collaboratively with proactive security to effectively protect their networks, data, and systems and avoid heavy costs of dealing with cyberattack’s aftermaths and business recovery.
The Impacts of Viral Hepatitis on Liver Enzymes and BilrubinAI Publications
Viral hepatitis is an infection that causes liver inflammation and damage. Several different viruses cause hepatitis, including hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E. The hepatitis A and E viruses typically cause acute infections. The hepatitis B, C, and D viruses can cause acute and chronic infections. Hepatitis A causes only acute infection and typically gets better without treatment after a few weeks. The hepatitis A virus spreads through contact with an infected person’s stool. Protection by getting the hepatitis A vaccine. Hepatitis E is typically an acute infection that gets better without treatment after several weeks. Some types of hepatitis E virus are spread by drinking water contaminated by an infected person’s stool. Other types are spread by eating undercooked pork or wild game. Hepatitis B can cause acute or chronic infection. Recommendation for screening for hepatitis B in pregnant women or in those with a high chance of being infected. Protection from hepatitis B by getting the hepatitis B vaccine. Hepatitis C can cause acute or chronic infection. Doctors usually recommend one-time screening of all adults ages 18 to 79 for hepatitis C. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent liver damage. The hepatitis D virus is unusual because it can only infect those who have a hepatitis B virus infection. A coinfection occurs when both hepatitis D and hepatitis B infections at the same time. A superinfection occurs already have chronic hepatitis B and then become infected with hepatitis D. The aim of this study is to find the effect of each type of viral hepatitis on the bilirubin (TB , DSB) , and liver enzymes; AST, ALT, ALP,GGT among viral hepatitis patients. 200 patients were selected from the viral hepatitis units in the central public health laboratory in Baghdad city, all the chosen cases were confirmed as a positive samples , they are classified into four equal group each with fifty individual and with a single serological viral hepatitis type either; anti-HAV( IgM ) , HBs Ag , anti-HCV ,or anti-HEV(IgM ).

The purpose of this study was to determine the status of women's empowerment and its determinants using women's asset endowment and decision-making potential as indicators. To determine representative sample size, this study used a two-stage sampling technique, and 122 sample respondents were selected at random. To analyze the data in this study, descriptive statistics and a probit model were used. The average women's empowerment index was 0.41, indicating a relatively lower status of women's empowerment in the study area. According to the study's findings, only 40.9% of women were empowered, while the remaining 59.1% were not. The probit model results show that women's access to the media, women's income, and their husbands' education status have a significant and positive impact on the status of women's empowerment, while the family size of households has a negative impact. As a result, it is important to enhance women's access to the media and income, promote family planning and contraception, and improve men's educational status in order to improve the status of women's empowerment.

I. INTRODUCTION
Petroleum based fuels are the major sources of energy on
this planet. Combustion of Petroleum based fuels has
creates serious trouble to the environment and the
geopolitical atmosphere of the world. The focal draw
backs on environment by petroleum based fuel
combustion are exhaust pollutants of CO, CO2, Unburned
Hydrocarbons, and Oxides of Nitrogen. With all these
effects collectively generated an interest to fetch for the
clean alternative renewable energy source.
Biodiesel is a significant alternative fuel for mineral
diesel, which can be used directly in existing diesel
engines with little or without any modification. Among
the all non-edible oils Karanja oil is a vital biodiesel
feedstock in context of renewable, because these trees can
grow even in dry areas with poor, marginal, sandy and
rocky soils.V.K. Shahir, C.P.Jawahar, and P.R.Suresh [1]
evaluated comparative study of diesel and biodiesel with
particularly on emissions. Biodiesel can be used in
existing Internal Combustion Engines with or without any
change and compared to conventional diesel fuel a great
reduction in Matter of particulate, Hydrocarbons (HC)
and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions. These effects
caused by a small amount of power lose, rise in fuel
consumption and augment in nitrogen oxide (NOx)
emission. Avinash Kumar Agarwal and K Rajamanohan
[2] conducted an experiment on Karanja oil moreover its
blends and accomplished that Karanja oil blends with
diesel up to 50% (v/v) with preheating and without
preheating would replace diesel for running the CI engine
for less emissions and increased performance. R. Sierens,
and S. Verhelst [3] are done experiment on hydrogen fuel
engine and find that an external mixture formation system
for natural gas, hydrogen, and hythane were increases the
power output of the engine without any danger of back
fire. Carl Wilhelmsson, Per Tunestal and Bengt
Johansson [4] of Operation strategy of a Dual Fuel port
injected heavy duty HCCI Engine with the analysis of
variable geometry turbo charger and observed decreased
NOx emissions. Jacob Wall [5] carried out an experiment
on Enriched Hydrocarbon Combustion and evaluated that
the addition of hydrogen has been shown to decrease the
formation of NOx, CO and unburned hydrocarbons and
also thermal efficiency increased and specific fuel
consumption decreased with addition of hydrogen at low
as of 5-10 % percent. Radu Chiriac and Nicolae
Apostolescu [6] investigations were conducted on
Rapeseed biodiesel blend B20, B20 with hydrogen
addition at 1400 rpm and 2400 rpm of dual fuel engine at
60% load. In this study without hydrogen B20 has
significantly more NOx emissions at all speeds and less
smoke and CO emissions, while combustion of both fuels
nearly equal and with hydrogen enriched to B20 at 60%
load find that higher NOx emission and to lower smoke
and CO emissions. Ahmed Syed, Syed Azam Pasha

investigated on Mahau oil methyl ester and resulted with
increased brake thermal efficiency, reduced fuel
consumption, and lesser HC, CO and smoke emissions
with increased concentration of NOx were obtained at
250 bar injection pressure for B20-hydrogen dual fuel
mode. The different test fuel properties are shown in
Table I.
The present investigation was carried out on KOME B20
as pilot fuel and hydrogen as supplementary fuel induced
at inlet manifold on dual fuel diesel engine and the
performance, combustion, and emission parameter were
evaluated at various injections operating pressure.
Hydrogen induction theory behind the concept was that
can extend the operation of lean limit, improve ability to
burn capacity, and minimizes duration of burning time.

II. EXPERIMENTAL SETUP AND
METHODOLOGY
The experimental analysis carried out on fully computer
based, single cylinder, 4 stroke, water cooled, Dual fuel
DI diesel engine coupled with Eddy current dynamometer
shown in Fig.1, specifications in Table.:II, and
instrumentation data Table 3 all the tests were conducted
at 100 % load with at a speed of 1500 ramp. The
piezoelectric sensor was used to know the cylinder inside
pressure of the engine. The position of the crank shaft was
measure with the help of a digital shaft encoder. The
experimental data developed by using National
Instrument Lab VIEW acquisition system. The
combustion analysis carried out on the averaged value of
100 cycles after the engine reached steady state operation.
In the view of safety measures a special in-house intake
manifold designed to connect flame arrestor, which
prevents the back fire, pre-ignition, pressure rise, and
knock. The cylinder of hydrogen keeps certain distance
from the engine to avoid heat transfer from the engine and
periodic monitoring on hydrogen supply line if any
leakages. Finally the parameters of performance,
combustion and emission characteristics are noted for
analysis. The five gas analyzer MARS MN-5 was used to
record exhaust emissions of engine. The methodology
adopted in the experimental work as follow:
Initial stage: The test was conducted with diesel
fuel in a single fuel mode of operating at constant
speed with 100% load to obtained base line result.
Second stage: The test was performed with B20
fuel with same mode, load, and speed of above and
compared base line result.
Third stage: The test was accomplished at dual
fuel method with B20 and low concentrations of
hydrogen (5, 10, and 15 lpm) supplement to intake
air, the results were evaluated all at 100% load
conditions for three injection operating pressures
of 200, 220, and 240 bar.

III. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
In this experiment effects of various( 200 , 220, and 240
bar) injection operating pressure (IOP) analyzed with
B20, and B20 with various low percentages of hydrogen
(5, 10, and 15 lpm) at constant speed of dual fuel mode
engine on engine performance, combustion, and
emissions are evaluated at full load.
A. Energy Share
The energy share of Dual fuel injection strategy employed
in this experiment for breakthrough the better premixed
lean combustion. The energy share of a fuel generally
obtains on fuel consumption, heating value of fuel, and
rate of combustion. From the fig.2 shows the variation of
B20 energy share with hydrogen flow rate (5, 10, and 15
lpm) at different injection operating pressure. In this
analysis acknowledged that the energy release rate of B20
was high from 200 to 240 bar of IOP quantified at full
load in all operating conditions. Simultaneously from
figure 3 shows hydrogen flow rates decreases with
increasing pressure. The high pressure fuel injection
causes better mixing of pilot fuel and supplement fuel
which makes complete combustion of B20 mixture. The
energy share percentage of B20 as defined the ratio of
energy of pilot fuel to sum of pilot and supplement fuel in
equation (1), and the equation (2) used to calculate the
percentage of hydrogen share.

B. PERFROMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
Thermal efficiency of Karanja biodiesel blends was more
than pure diesel at all engine operating conditions.
Increasing IOP was more efficient in increasing BTE of
pure diesel in comparison to Karanja biodiesel blends,
which hints that higher injection pressure was more
successful in improving the spray characteristics of fuels
with lower viscosity, which is pure diesel in this case [8,
9] Fig. 4 indicates the variation of brake thermal
efficiency of the engine with injection operating pressures
with respective of pure diesel, B20 and B20 with 5, 10,
and 15 lpm of hydrogen.
Fig.4: Variation Brake Thermal Efficiency with IOP with
100% load
Brake thermal efficiency at IOP of 200, 220, and 240 bar
for pure diesel, B20, B20+5 lpm, B20+10 lpm, and
B20+15 lpm were 22.15-22.25-23.75 % , 23.06-23.19-
24.64 %, 24.16-27.29-25.76 %, 25.69-25.79-26.78 %, and
27.14-27.34-28.94 % obtained at 100 % load. Brake
thermal efficiency of test engine increases with increasing
IOP from 200 to 240 bar, the theory behind this increase
was like that quick vaporization of atomization causes

significant improvement in air fuel-mixture which
resulted near complete combustion.
Brake specific fuel consumption was directly proportional
to the engine size as engine volume goes down so does
BSFC, which determined as the ratio of fuel flow to brake
power. Fig. 5 illustrated the variation of brake specific
fuel consumption with IOP from IOP for the test fuel of
pure diesel, B20 and B20 with 5, 10, and 15 lpm of
hydrogen. BSFC at 200, 220, and 240bar IOP for pure
diesel, B20, B20+5 lpm, B20+10 lpm, and B20+15 lpm
were 0.40-0.39-0.37 %, 0.38-0.37-0.35%, 0.36-0.35-
0.33%, 0.35-0.33-0.31 %, 0.32-0.31-0.28% at 100% load.
The availability of oxygen content in the Karanja methyl
ester [10] BSFC reduces was lower as compared to that
of diesel fuel due to finer atomization of pilot fuel
droplets and improved mixing of air-fuel [11] compared
to the bigger size droplets formed at low injection
pressure that unhurriedly vaporize.

With different Injection Operating Pressure at 100% load
C. COMBUSTION CHARACTERISTICS
Figure 6, 7, and 8 shows the variation of cylinder pressure
with crank angle at different injection operating pressure
with the fuel of Pure diesel, B20, and B20 with various
hydrogen (5, 10, and 15 lpm) flow rates.
Fig.6: Variation of cylinder pressure with crank angle at
200 bar IOP
Fig.7: Variation of cylinder pressure with crank angle at
220 bar IOP
Fig.8: Variation of cylinder pressure with crank angle at
240 bar IOP
The experiment was validated at 200 bar, the peak
pressure results for pure diesel, B20, B20+5 lpm, B20+10
lpm, and B20+15lpm were 51.77, 51.92, 53.06, 53.88,
and 55.46 % at 100% load. The raise in Peak pressure
with rising of injection operating pressure perhaps
endorsement of small delay period which causes increase
in cylinder temperature turns by fine atomization and
premixed combustion.The rate of peak pressure released
strategy from emancipated during premixed combustion
in the period of delay. The experimental analysis at 100%
load and 240 bar of IOP was generous increase of peak
pressures find with pure diesel , B20, B20+5 lpm,
B20+10 lpm, and B20+15 lpm were 54.44, 54.47, 54.77,
56.22, and 60.99 % bar. The exploration behind the
increment of peak pressure from 200 to 240 bar IOP may
be fewer ignition delay period which helps raise of
cylinder temperature due to proper pre-mixed combustion
and fine atomization [12, 13]

From Figure 9, 10, and 11 shows the net heat release rate
curves with respect to crank angle at various IOP with the
test fuels of pure diesel, B20 and B20 with hydrogen 5,
10, and 15 lpm flow rate of hydrogen. The base line
pressure of 200 bar, the rate of net heat release for pure
diesel, B20, B20+5 lpm, B20+10 lpm, and B20+15 lpm
of test fuels was 56.58 J/deg CA, 56.66 J/deg CA, 58.31
J/deg CA, 60.17 J/deg CA, and 62.73 J/deg CA quantified
at 100% load. The boost of injection operating pressure
with boosting the NHRR values from 200 to 240 bar and
the maximum pressure values for pure diesel, B20,
B20+5lpm, B20+10 lpm, and B20+15 lpm of hydrogen
was 58.31 J/deg CA, 60.17 J/deg CA, 61.72 J/deg CA,
63.39 J/deg CA, and 68.37 J/deg CA at 100% load. The
dual fuel mode of NHRR was principally depends on the
mixture quality, rate of mass flow and calorific value of
both the liquid and gaseous fuels. The increase of IOP
from 200 to 240 bar pressure with increasing NHRR in
dual fuel mode due to involvement of two fuels with
different characteristics and properties causes
concurrently burned in the cylinder.

was 350, 820, 971, 1024, and 1150 ppm at 100% load.
The NOx emission increase with increasing pressure from
200 to 240bar pressure and the maximum pressure of
NOx values for pure diesel, B20, B20+5lpm, B20+10
lpm, and B20+15 lpm of hydrogen was 495, 925 , 1019 ,
1117, and 1275 ppm at full load. The NOx emission
increases from IOP of 200 to 240 bars due to rapid rate of
combustion, gas temperature of cylinder high, peak
pressure reached with raised pilot injection pressure.

IOP at 100% load
Fig. 15 depicts the changes in HC emissions by varying
injection IOP pressures of 200, 220, and 240 bar with
pure diesel, B20 and B20 with 5, 10, and 15lpm hydrogen
respectively. The base line data pressure of 200 bar, the
rate of HC emissions release for pure diesel, B20, B20+5
lpm, B20+10 lpm, and B20+15 lpm of test fuels was 170,
149, 102 ppm, 120,101 and 70 ppm at 100% load. At less
IOP causes improper atomization HC increases. The HC
emission decrease with increasing pressure from 200 to
240bar pressure and the maximum pressure of HC values
for pure diesel, B20, B20+5lpm, B20+10 lpm, and
B20+15 lpm of hydrogen was 122, 103 , 75 , 52, and 35
ppm at 100% load. HC diminished from IOP of 200 to
240 bar, because of proper mixing of fuel, near complete
combustion and wall temperature of cylinder reduces in
quench layer.

IV. CONCLUSION
The analysis of above experiment was validated
successfully on pilot fuel of B20 and hydrogen
enriched with different concentrations at altered
injection operating pressure. The effects of results
were praised at 200, 220, and 240 bar IOP marked that
240 bar IOP was better pressure for optimum
performance, combustion and low emission. The
conclusions of experimental results were ensure based
on the B20 and B20 with hydrogen for IOP of 240 bar
and compared base line pure diesel performed at 200
bar IOP at 100% load. Brake thermal efficiency of the
engine increases up to 28.94% with 100% load
condition at 240 bar IOP test fuels for B20 with 15
lpm of hydrogen when compared with baseline IOP.
Brake Specific Fuel Consumption decreases with
increasing IOP from 200 to 240 bar with test fuel of
B20 with supplement of hydrogen at 15 lpm of flow
rate. At 240 bar IOP full load BSFC find minimum of
0.28 Kg/kW-hr mean while maximum at base line
IOP.
