Abstract

This experimental study was focused on use of CuNO₃
as a fuel additive with butanol-diesel blends in diesel engine and its effects
on fuel specifications and emission characteristics. With this purpose, CuNO₃
nano additive was mixed with diesel-butanol and each test fuel was analyzed to
determine fuel specifications (density, viscosity, Cetane number, heating
values and copper strip corrosion). A four stroke, four cylinder direct
injection diesel engine was conducted to perform the test fuels. In
conclusions, CuNO₃ nano additive with diesel-butanol blends improved
the fuel specifications and exhaust emission characteristics of diesel engine.
