PERFORMANCE, COMBUSTION AND EMISSION CHARACTERISTICS OF COMPRESSION IGNITION ENGINE USING NANO - FUEL: A REVIEW

The limited fossil fuel resources along with the need to reduce emissions are major impulse to the development of sustainable, renewable and alternative fuel instead of diesel in CI engine. The main objective of this paper is to study the performance and emission characteristics of CI engine using biodie sel with additives as alternative fuel. Biodiesel have not shown significantly improvement in performance, but shown decreasing trend in emission parameters, especially in Sox, CO and CO2 except to NOx. Nanoparticle added fuel improves the emissions and pe rformance of CI engine due to the positive effect of nanofuels on the fuel properties and ignition delay.
