Abstract

In this paper an attempt is made to use titanium dioxide nanoparticles as fuel additive in a C.I. Engine. Dispersion of nanoparticles in B20 methyl ester of linseed oil is carried out using a probe sonicator. The physiochemical properties are characterized. The fuel samples are then tested in C.I. Engine test rig. Results reveal that use of titanium dioxide nanoparticles as fuel additives lead to enhanced performance and emission characteristics in comparison to plain fuel and biodiesel sample. The brake thermal efficiency of the engine is improved by 2.2% with the usage of TiO2 nanoparticles in B20 blend, when compared with fuel sample without nano additive. A 6% reduction in BSFC value is observed for TiO2 nano fuel B20+50ppm and B20+100ppm in comparison to plain oil. It is observed that the blend B20 with TiO2 nanoparticles result in an average 16% lesser smoke emission compared to plain B20.
