“…In addition, many additives have catalytic properties. Taking into account unique catalytic properties of nanoparticles and advantages of nano-technologies, the use of nano-additives is one of the promising modern trends in the development of a culture of the additives' application for improving the quality of fuels [31][32][33]. It has been previously shown that, in order to comprehensively improve the environmental and operational characteristics of automobiles, the additive must combine the properties of a surfactant and a catalyst for gasification reactions [27].…”

Environmental safety problem originated from vehicles requires development and exploration of integrated and effective solutions, which considers the development level of technologies, the cost of their widespread use, the legislation requirements and other relevant aspects. One improvement method of the petroleum-derived fuels characteristics is the use of additives that complement the refining methods and provide ample opportunities to influence the individual characteristics. The aim of this work is to study the influence of the developed multifunctional surface-active nano-additive on the gasoline characteristics and engine performance. The measurement results confirmed the effective reduction of the surface tension of gasoline at the boundary with air, improving the mixture formation in the engine. On the other hand, the saturated vapor pressure was significantly decreased, which dramatically reduces evaporation losses and air pollution by light hydrocarbons. The use of the additive, due to a combination of its surface-active and catalytic action, significantly increases the fuel efficiency of engines and reduces octane requirements, greenhouse gases emissions, as well as noise level during operation of vehicles, and the environmental safety of vehicle operation increases.

“…The results demonstrated that the addition of nanoparticles to the base fuel improved the fuel properties including fire point, viscosity, density, and calorific value. Gumus et al [50] and Sahoo and Jain [51] also concluded that the nanoparticle additives possessed better fuel characteristics like flash point and calorific value. A lower BSFC was attributed to the higher calorific value [62].…”

“…Recently, the addition of nanoparticles has been considered as an advantageous approach in enhancing the fuel properties. Numerous researchers have tested fuel properties by adding different types of nanoparticles in various diesel/biodiesel fuels [37,[46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56]. Furthermore, the quality of the fuel mixing and combustion process was evaluated by studying their effects on different features including kinematic viscosity, caloric value, flash point, density, number of cetane, etc.…”

Nanofluid is a colloidal mixture consisting of nano-sized particles dispersed in a liquid medium. It improves heat transfer properties and promotes high energy efficiency in a wide spectrum of engineering applications. In recent years, particularly in the automotive industry, the addition of nanofluid in diesel/biodiesel as an additive for ICE has become an attractive approach to promote enhanced combustion efficiency and emission reduction due to their superior thermophysical properties. Many researchers have previously demonstrated that the addition of nanoparticles in diesel/biodiesel fuel improved the overall engine combustion characteristics. As a whole, this study aims to summarize the recent research findings related to the effect of nanoparticles on the fuel properties and engine combustion efficiency. Furthermore, different types of additive blended with varying fuel properties are also compared and discussed. Lastly, the advantages and prospects of using nanofluid as an additive fuel are summarized for future research opportunities.

“…The air-fuel mixing and complete combustion of biodiesel can be improved by nanoadditives, such as Al, ZnO, TiO 2 , and Ag (269). Moreover, it was reported that fuel nanoadditives improves the soot oxidation by reaction with carbon atoms (270). The main disadvantage of nanoadditives is the appearance of the nanoparticles in the engine exhaust.…”

Although fossil fuels remain the main source of energy, the volume of renewable sources of energy is constantly increasing. Biodiesel is a promising alternative fuel due to the number of advantages compared to fossil fuel and other types of biofuel. The specific objective of this study was to identify the difference between conventional and novel technologies applied during the whole life cycle of biodiesel production and consumption. The study offers some important insights into the recent advances in the biodiesel industry including biodiesel production from microalgal lipids, advanced homogenous and enzymatic transesterification, non-catalytic supercritical transesterification, application of microwave and ultrasound assisting technologies. Considering all the factors affecting the efficiency and safety of the biodiesel production process, here we reviewed the main principals and recent achievements in the environmental life cycle assessment of biodiesel production and consumption.
