Abstract
An experimental investigation was carried
out to study the performance of a compression ignition
(CI) engine fuelled with diesel with nanoparticles as
an additive. Various blends were prepared by varying
the nanoparticles i.e. cerium oxide and zinc oxide to
study its operating characteristics of a single cylinder,
constant speed CI engine. The engine test results
showed that addition of nanoparticles i.e. cerium
oxide and zinc oxide leads to an improvement in
thermal efficiency compare to diesel operation at full
load. However, the brake specific fuel consumption of
zinc oxide 250ppm blend is nearly same as cerium
oxide 40ppm and also zinc oxide 500ppm blend is
nearly same as cerium oxide 80ppm at higher loads,
and also it is observed that all the nanoparticle added
blends are having less exhaust temperature than the
diesel values at higher load. The smoke is decreased
with the addition nano additives and also 40ppm of
CeO2 as given the lowest rate of smoke.
