Abstract: In this study, the performance and emissions of Al2O3 alkaline cottonseed biodiesel-powered compression ignition engines were predicted. An experiment was conducted using different biodiesel blends made from cottonseed oil under various loading conditions. Biodiesel was produced using ethanol and Cao-mg/Al2O3 as catalysts through the transesterification process and blended with diesel to produce CBDN10, CBDN20, CBDN30, and CBDN40. The CBDN20 blends showed an evident reduction in fuel consumption by 8% and a 12% improvement in thermal efficiency at high static thrust. The use of these blends resulted in minimal CO, CO2, and NOx emissions from engines. These emissions were monitored by an IoT system and analysed with gas analysers, which revealed CBDN20's ability to reduce nitrogen oxide and hydrocarbon emissions compared to diesel. Additionally, CBDN20 demonstrated improved thermal efficiency and reduced brake-specific fuel consumption compared to the other blends.
