The sophisticated technology being used in automotive technology, as well as the increased use of vehicles, enables the engine to operate on a variety of alternative fuels. Natural or synthetic carbon-based connections are responsible for the formation of ethanol. They may be produced from a variety of sources, including agricultural feedstock, local crops, and even agricultural trash and waste products. Because they are in the form of a renewable resource, they may be employed in a variety of applications, including IC engines, where they can be used as fuel or as an addition, depending on their composition. It is possible to dramatically improve the performance of gasoline engines using a novel mix of nanoadditives, ethanol, and gasoline while simultaneously reducing the negative environmental impact. An ethanol-gasoline combination was used to power the engine in this work, which examined the effects of the alumina nanoaddition. Results reveal that thermal efficiency can be improved by up to 17% while fuel consumption can be reduced by up to 16% on a volume basis, indicating a considerable improvement over the basic engine. Also validated was a decrease in dangerous carbon monoxide emissions of as much as 14%, a reduction in unburned hydrocarbon emissions of 18.5%, and a significant reduction in oxygen of as much as 18%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
