Nano particles seem to be promising technology to enhance the properties of diesel fuel
Interested question, I think it would has dramatic effect on engine performance.
What kind of nanoparticles are we talking about here?
PLease see this article for general information. I would be able to help better if specific information is provided. Thanks
Article Experimental investigation of the effects of nanoparticles a...
I think nanoparticle will increase the thermal performance of the engine as well as decreases the pollution concentration like carbon monoxide, nitric oxide.
Dear Prof Dr Haroun Shahad we are looking for your comments
Around 90% of the literatures reviewed have shown a reduction in exhaust emissions such as unburned hydrocarbons (UBHC), carbon monoxide (CO) and particulate matters (PM) with the inclusion of metallic and oxygenated additives in the diesel fuel, due to enhanced ignition characteristics, higher oxygen content that resulted in complete combustion.
The impact is on both engine performance and engine emission. We published two papers in The journal of Babylon University for Science and Engineering. I recommend you to these two papers.
My best regards
Prof Haroun Shahad
This reduction of the brake specific fuel consumption when use nanoparticle blended with diesel fuel may be result of ignition delay is reduced and increased surface to volume ratio all that lead to enhancement evaporation rate and atomization of the blended fuel so that reduced the BSFC. The enhancement in thermal efficiency may be due to increase the colorific value, reduced ignition delay and rising in flame temperature when using blended fuel.
The use of nano particle is to enhance the performance and efficiency of machine and reduces the losses of oil diesel.
In general, it may clog the fuel injection nozzles and disturb the fuel atomizing process, specially when the fuel contains a lot of impurities.
