Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles under ambient condition using oil seed cake which is a byproduct from biodiesel industry is investigated. The formation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was analyzed visually and spectrophotometrically. Appearance of brownish color indicated the formation of AgNPs which was confirmed by the appearance of surface Plasmon band at 435 nm by UV-Vis. The synthesized AgNPs were characterized by FT-IR, particle size analyzer, XRD and FESEM. FESEM results revealed the grain size of nanoparticles is in the range of 18-30nm. In the present study, biosynthesized AgNPs were used as an additive for biodiesel and its influence on engine performance was studied. Experiment were carried out on Kirlosker make, 4 stroke, water cooled, single cylinder, direct injection, diesel engine at fixed compression ratio to determine emission characteristics and performance evaluation of diesel &; diesel-biodiesel–AgNPs blends. AgNPs were blended into biodiesel in the mass fraction of 25ppm and 50ppm using ultrasonicator for proper dispersion and for improving the stability of the blends. The results showed significant increase in break thermal efficiency due to addition of silver nanoparticles in biodiesel, where lower dosing level of AgNPs further improved the performance of the engine.Hence usage of nanoparticles blended biodiesel enhances the engine performance efficiency and will facilitate further reduction of carbon footprint in terms of noxious gas emissions. Therefore application of nanotechnology in biofuels will help in reduction of diesel consumption, which in turn will help in boosting the economy by reducing the import of crude oil thereby reducing the burden on government foreign exchange.
