“…Furthermore, the incorporation of water molecules in the fuel emulsion enhanced the effective blending of fuel and air particles, leading to accelerated evaporation of the mixture. The higher surface-area-to-volume ratio in the case of nanoparticles might potentially enhance the evaporation and atomization of fuel droplets (Kannaiyan et al, 2019;Kannaiyan and Sadr, 2017). Moreover, these nanoparticles have demonstrated the ability to assimilate hydrogen atoms from water molecules, hence enabling enhanced combustion efficiency (Soukht Saraee et al, 2016).…”

As a sustainable replacement for fossil fuels, biodiesel is a game-changer in the energy sector. There is no strategy to minimize biodiesel's significance as a sustainable, clean fuel source in light of the increasing climate change and environmental sustainability concerns. Nevertheless, conventional biodiesel production methods often run into problems like inadequate conversion efficiency and inappropriate fuel properties, which impede their broad adoption. The revolutionary potential of nanotechnology to circumvent these limitations and revolutionize biodiesel consumption and production is explored in this review paper. There are new possibilities for improving biodiesel output and engine efficiency, thanks to nanotechnology, which can alter matter at the atomic and molecular levels. Using nano-catalysts, nano-emulsification processes, and nano-encapsulation procedures, researchers have made significant advances in improving biodiesel qualities such as stability, combustion efficiency, and viscosity. Through a comprehensive analysis of current literature and research data, this article elucidates the crucial role of nanotechnology in advancing biodiesel technology. By shedding light on the most current advancements, challenges, and potential future outcomes in nano-based biodiesel manufacturing and consumption, this review hopes to add to the growing corpus of knowledge in the field and inspire additional innovation. In conclusion, there is great hope for a sustainable energy future, increased economic growth, and reduced environmental impacts through the application of nanotechnology.

“…Because of the exceptional properties of FFO nanoparticles, such as superior thermal conductivity, heat transfer characteristics and spray characteristics, quality of combustion can become better. With the healthier mass and heat conveyed during combustion, fuel particle burns uniformly throughout the combustion, resulting in a reduction in flame spots (NOx prone zones), thus overall NOx formation is reduced [43,44]. In addition, the presence of employed nanoparticles in biodiesel blends could respond as NOx reduces during combustion, which can smash the structure of NOx into nitrogen and oxygen, thus lowering the NOx generation [19].…”

In recent years, industries have been investing to develop a potential alternative fuel to substitute the depleting fossil fuels which emit noxious emissions. Present work investigated the effect of ferrous ferric oxide nano-additive on performance and emission parameters of compression ignition engine fuelled with chicken fat methyl ester blends. The nano-additive was included with various methyl ester blends at different ppm of 50, 100, and 150 through the ultrasonication process. Probe sonicator was utilized for nano-fuel preparation to inhibit the formation of agglomeration of nanoparticles in base fuel. Experimental results revealed that the addition of 100 ppm dosage of ferrous ferric oxide nanoparticles in blends significantly improves the combustion performance and substantially decrease the pernicious emissions of the engine. It is also found from an experimental results analysis that brake thermal efficiency (BTE) improved by 4.84%, a reduction in brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) by 10.44%, brake specific energy consumption (BSEC) by 9.44%, exhaust gas temperature (EGT) by 19.47%, carbon monoxides (CO) by 53.22%, unburned hydrocarbon (UHC) by 21.73%, nitrogen oxides (NOx) by 15.39%, and smoke by 14.73% for the nano-fuel B20FFO100 blend. By seeing of analysis, it is concluded that the doping of ferrous ferric oxide nano-additive in chicken fat methyl ester blends shows an overall development in engine characteristics.

“…Although there is decent research in multiple directions to reduce the impact of carbon emissions by the aviation sector, these studies are limited to the laboratory. , However, currently, one such solution that has received significant attention is to introduce high-energy-density microparticles that can reduce the consumption of hydrocarbon fuel to a considerable extent. , Because of their small atomic radius and high electronegativity, these materials tend to exhibit instability, which is useful for aircraft fuels; however, their use is limited to only hydrocarbons. Hence, the dispersion stability of these materials appears to be an enticing problem for long-term boron particle retention. , These additives save fuel and reduce the release of hydrocarbons, and thus, these are the most cost-effective solution in the current context. According to the literature, a decent amount of work has been carried out by the scientific community to develop boron-based nanofillers for aerospace applications. − The characteristics of boron include higher gravimetric and volumetric heating values than those of traditional hydrocarbon fuels, making it a suitable material that requires high energy.…”

The current studies elucidate the surface functionalization of boron particles to enhance dispersion stability. The boron particles were chosen because of their high gravimetric and volumetric calorific values. These particles were tailored by silane modification and dispersed into liquid hydrocarbon fuel to enhance the energy content. The experimental trials were done to demonstrate the stability of particles based on the response surface methodology (RSM) to optimize the response by varying factors such as the composition of (A) boron particles and (B) silane with (C) ultrasound power to obtain a stable dispersion of the fuel slurry. The Box−Behnken design was chosen for the response surface experiments. As a result, the spectroscopic, crystallographic, and morphological characteristics revealed interesting corroboration effects in enhancing the stability of boron particles for various compositions with the hydrocarbon fuel. The optimized conditions for retaining fuel slurry with maximum stability at an ultrasound power of 195.5 W for 3-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane concentration and boron particle concentration were 0.625 and 3 wt %, respectively, to obtain 72 h of stability. The second-order polynomial quadratic equation determines the stability and R 2 = 0.9949. The RSM has facilitated the determination of practical optimal values for various research variables, providing valuable insights into their interactions. This model is adequate, statistically validated, effective, and logically reliable and also minimizes the cost for conducting the experimental trial runs.
