This study investigates the utilization of an α-MnO2 /nanocarbon ball (NCB) additive to enhance the performance of second-, third-, and fourth-generation biodiesels (SSGB, PVB, and GMCB). Various tests including XRD, XPS, TEM, HRTEM, BET, torque and power measurements, EGT, BTE, emissions analysis (CO2 , CO, HC, soot, and NOx), and BSFC were conducted. The combination of GMCB5N50 with α-MnO2 /NCB yielded the highest torque (35.77 N m) and power (6.47 kW), indicating an improved engine performance...
