“…Because of the exceptional properties of FFO nanoparticles, such as superior thermal conductivity, heat transfer characteristics and spray characteristics, quality of combustion can become better. With the healthier mass and heat conveyed during combustion, fuel particle burns uniformly throughout the combustion, resulting in a reduction in flame spots (NOx prone zones), thus overall NOx formation is reduced [43,44]. In addition, the presence of employed nanoparticles in biodiesel blends could respond as NOx reduces during combustion, which can smash the structure of NOx into nitrogen and oxygen, thus lowering the NOx generation [19].…”

In recent years, industries have been investing to develop a potential alternative fuel to substitute the depleting fossil fuels which emit noxious emissions. Present work investigated the effect of ferrous ferric oxide nano-additive on performance and emission parameters of compression ignition engine fuelled with chicken fat methyl ester blends. The nano-additive was included with various methyl ester blends at different ppm of 50, 100, and 150 through the ultrasonication process. Probe sonicator was utilized for nano-fuel preparation to inhibit the formation of agglomeration of nanoparticles in base fuel. Experimental results revealed that the addition of 100 ppm dosage of ferrous ferric oxide nanoparticles in blends significantly improves the combustion performance and substantially decrease the pernicious emissions of the engine. It is also found from an experimental results analysis that brake thermal efficiency (BTE) improved by 4.84%, a reduction in brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) by 10.44%, brake specific energy consumption (BSEC) by 9.44%, exhaust gas temperature (EGT) by 19.47%, carbon monoxides (CO) by 53.22%, unburned hydrocarbon (UHC) by 21.73%, nitrogen oxides (NOx) by 15.39%, and smoke by 14.73% for the nano-fuel B20FFO100 blend. By seeing of analysis, it is concluded that the doping of ferrous ferric oxide nano-additive in chicken fat methyl ester blends shows an overall development in engine characteristics.

“…The improved combustion process because of enhanced oxidation process of nanoparticles have been mentioned frequently in literature [9,10]. Following, Ettefaghi et al [11] performed an investigation on Bio-Nano emulsion to improve the engine performance and reduce emission, so they conducted the experiment with diesel-biodiesel-waterbiodegradeble nanoparticle. They proved that by using B15 fuel containing 5% water and 60 ppm carbon quantum dots a 21% increase of engine power can be obtained compared to B15 fuel.…”

In this paper, the use of gasoline combinations with ethanol and nano oxide particles has been studied in gasoline-based SI EF7 engines. The mixtures are prepared in five emulsions of gasoline with 10% ethanol, gasoline with 10% ethanol and 10ppm nano Mn2O3, gasoline with 10% ethanol and 20ppm nano Mn2O3, gasoline with 10% ethanol and 10ppm nano Co3O4, gasoline with 10% ethanol and 20ppm nano Co3O4. An ultrasonic cleaner device is used to obtain a homogeneous gasoline combination with ethanol and additives of nano oxides during the test. To measure the output power of the engine, the Eddy current dynamometer has been coupled to the engine and to determine the emissions, an AVL gas analyzer is used. The results indicate that ethanol addition by 10% lead to 2.6% increase in brake power (BP), but interestingly 10 ppm Mn2O3 nano-additive raise the BP to 14.38% and 20 ppm nano-additive led to 19.56% increase of BP. While the BP with 10ppm and 20ppm nano-additives of Co3O4 has increased by 7.96% and 11.5%, respectively. With regard to emissions, ethanol presence with nano additives in the blend reduces CO, UHC, and NOx whereas increases CO2. The best blend is gasoline-10% ethanol-20ppm Mn2O3.
