Abstract : Research into alternative fuels has been driven by the growing global energy demand, limited fossil fuel resources, exhaust pollutants, and the impact of climate change. Biodiesel, particularly its blends, is considered one of the most suitable and practical alternatives for diesel engines. This study was conducted using pure diesel and various blends of biodiesel derived from Karanja oil (BKO), di-tertiary butyl peroxide (DTBP), and hydrogen as a secondary fuel. The performance parameters observed include variations in heat in brake power (HBP), volumetric efficiency, air- fuel ratio, heat carried away by radiation (H Rad), heat carried away by exhaust gas (H Gas), and heat in jacket water (HJW). As the percentages of biodiesel (Karanja oil), DTBP, and hydrogen increased, the results showed that HBP increased by 19.15% due to hydrogen combustion in the cylinder. Volumetric efficiency decreased by 6.99% as hydrogen replaced some of the air. The air-fuel ratio decreased by 14.1% because hydrogen has a lower density compared to air. H Rad increased by 11.64% due to the rise in mean gas temperature, while H Gas and HJW decreased by 26.88% and 7.12%, respectively, due to the higher thermal conductivity resulting from the hydrogen-diesel fuel substitution.

Keywords : Diesel, Biodiesel of Karanja Oil, Di- Tertiary Butyl Peroxide, Hydrogen Fuel, and Performance.
