Exploring Experimentally Al2O3 Nanoparticles Impact on a Four-Stroke Diesel Engine's Performance and Emissions

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This work demonstrates the enhancement of the performance of engine and emission features by introducing nanoparticles into gasoline.Aluminum oxide (Al2O3) has been utilized as an additive to the fuel in a 4-stroke diesel engine with a single cylinder and compression ignition.Three different weight percentages of Al2O3 were evaluated (0.25% Al2O3-Di, 0.5% Al2O3-Di, and 0.75% Al2O3-Di.)compared with pure diesel fuel.The findings suggest that using nano-diesel and higher nanoparticles amount in diesel fuel contributed to enhancing engine performance.The engine brake thermal efficiency demonstrated a notable improvement, while the brake-specific fuel consumption (Bsfc) demonstrated a reduction of 3.4% compared with pure diesel fuel.Furthermore, the increase in (Al2O3) amount in diesel fuel causing a decrease in CO, HC, and NOx releases by 13%, 16.9%, and 28.8%, respectively, compared with pure diesel fuel.Yet carbon dioxide emissions rose by 21.4% compared with those using pure diesel fuel.Furthermore, the findings revealed that nonfuel with 0.75% nanoparticles performs better than pure diesel fuel.
