Abstract

This document is a summary of the results of several studies that looked at how adding nanoparticles to diesel, biodiesel, and water-emulsified fuels affects the way a Diesel engine works and how much pollution it puts out. Two things can be done to cut down on the amount of harmful gases that a diesel engine puts into the air. The first step to reducing emissions is to put in devices that treat exhaust gases, like catalytic converters and diesel particle filters. If you do it this way, you'll get the best results. But the way these gadgets work makes diesel engines less efficient. Using a fuel additive is the second way to improve the efficiency of a CI engine and lower its emissions. Oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) are the main pollutants that come out of diesel engines (PM). But it is hard to keep NOx and PM under control at the same time. Several researchers have found that using nanoparticle additives and fuels that have been mixed with water is the best way to improve engine performance while reducing emissions. This study also talks about biodiesel fuel, which can be made to act like diesel fuel by adding different kinds of nanoparticles. Many studies have compared the effects of diesel and biodiesel fuels on a wide range of factors, both on their own and with the addition of water and nano particles. Most studies show that adding nanoparticles to diesel and biodiesel fuel makes engines run better and reduces the amount of pollution they put out.
