Abstract


The fundamental objective of this research is to assess the electrical properties of nano powder corn oil biodiesel. Initially, corn oil biodiesel is prepared by transesterification process and mixed with TiO2 nano powder in different compositions. TiO2 nanofluids are examined using XRD, SEM, and TEM. To determine the try and make of nanoparticles, EDAX analysis was performed. The morphology of TiO2 nanoparticles was analysed using SEM. It appeared that the average size of the TiO2 particles created in this way was 27 nm. The electrical properties of prepared biodiesel blends are evaluated, such as their breakdown voltage, permittivity, resistivity, and electrical conductivity. With the increase in the diameter, there is an increase in the value of resistivity with the dispersion of TiO2 nano powder whereas breakdown voltage, permittivity, and electrical conductivity have been decreased with the increase in the diameter. Overall with the dispersion of TiO2 nano powder the electrical properties have been enhanced.
