Assessment of binary metallic-based nanoparticles addition effects on performance, emission, and vibration behaviors of a diesel engine

Abstract

This paper reveals the results of metallic-based nanoparticle's effect on the performance, emission, and vibration of a diesel engine. Various metal-based nanoparticles such as Nickel (II) nitrate hexahydrate (Ni(NO3)2.6H2O), Silver nitrate (AgNO3), and Manganese (II) nitrate hydrate (Mn(NO3)2.xH2O) were chosen as fuel additives into diesel fuel and dosage with 25 and 50 ppm. In experimental tests, to identify the combined effect of silver nitrate on manganese and nickel, silver nitrate was chosen as a reference element in each mixture, thereby creating 4 different test samples. Engine tests were conducted in a single-cylinder diesel engine. The results revealed that values of specific fuel consumption, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon, and oxides of nitrogen emissions with the increase in the dosage level of nanoparticles into diesel fuel were reduced considerably for all test fuels. Also, vibration and sound pressure level features of the diesel engine were reduced with the increasing dosage of nanoparticle additives.
