“…e nozzle of the air and ethanol injector nozzle is 0.4 mm in diameter. e mixing chamber where the flows converge has a diameter of 0.40 mm and a length of 1.5 mm [6]. First of all, the injector was sketched out was first sketched with the measurements mentioned in the programme, and then the boundary conditions were on the thickness covering the fluid inlet were introduced [7].…”

Hydrocarbon injection is an important stage in combustion, where the atomisation process is involved the atomisation process which consists of disintegrating the fuel into small droplets, through an injector to add more transfer area, the fuel, through an injector to add more transfer area. The size of droplet size generated by the injector must be less than 80 μm to ensure good combustion and avoid combustion and avoid pollutants such as CO and NOx. This research worked with ethanol, a low-emission hydrocarbon, which has a high viscosity which makes it difficult to achieve the correct droplet diameter. This type of study needs to be both theoretical and experimental with simulation being a great tool to replace the latter. The finite element method included in the Flow Simulation package of the SolidWorks software was used in this research. The Flow Simulation package of the SolidWorks software was used, where a Y-type injector was sketched to be evaluated. The dynamic simulation helped to measure the velocity field, at the outlet of the air nozzle, a cavity with a diameter of 0.4 mm, which helps to increase the kinetic energy of the air. The kinetic energy of the fluid obtains the highest values of the Mach number in this area.

“…Internal combustion engine nanoparticles additives are now feasible thanks to advances in nanotechnology [91,92], and current research [93][94][95] shows that adding metal-based nanoparticles to the fuel can enhance engine performance [96]. Using CuO nanoparticles as a heterogeneous catalyst to transform used cooking mustard oil into biofuel in the presence of methanol, waste cooking mustard oil was converted into biofuel [97]. XRD peaks to be in a monoclinic phase confirmed the production of CuO from each precursor, and the average grain size of CuO crystallite was determined to be 13 nm.…”

The shortage of fossil fuels is a significant political and economic issue that occurred due to global reliance on fossil fuels. The fuel characteristics of the produced diesel and biofuel (viscosity, density, cloud point, flash point, acid number, lower heating values, and pour point) are then determined. It is anticipated that using biofuel will result in higher fuel usage than using diesel fuel. This scenario also has an impact on the emissions. Biofuel has a higher density than diesel fuel, which has a detrimental impact on emissions and engine performance. It may be inferred that, while using the identical diesel engine for comparison, the effects of waste oil-derived biofuel are distinct from those of diesel fuel. Therefore, in order to achieve the best outcomes, it is crucial to develop new forms of biofuels. Nanomaterials (NMs), like copper oxides, titanium oxides, and aluminium oxides have been developed to be the most promising fuel additives for diesel engines in recent years. A significant amount of laboratory testing has been conducted up to this point to investigate the impact of using nano fuels on several aspects of diesel engine characteristics, particularly on hazardous emissions and engine performance (BSFC, effective power, BTE). This study provides an overview of the findings so far and the current situation regarding the use of nano fuels in diesel engines. Additionally, among the group of the most tested fuel additive nanoparticles, the best NMs/base fuel combinations are found based on two criteria that either involves all diesel engine parameters or simply diesel emissions. There are numerous techniques for improving engine performance. Nanoparticles can be used as catalysts in chemical reactions and feedstock retreatment processes to produce biofuels. According to the overall findings, adding nanoparticles significantly reduced the amount of fuel used for brakes by 20% to 23% when compared to biodiesel-diesel blends with and without the addition of alcohol. In addition to improving the combustion process and boosting the brake power by 2.5% to 4%, nanoparticles have a high thermal conductivity. Emission data revealed that while HC, CO, and PM emissions all dramatically decreased in most reviews, NO emissions increased by up to 55%.

“…The effect of adding CuO nano-additives to the Neochloris oleoabundans methyl ester diesel (NOMED) blend was investigated by Kalaimurugan et al [127]. A month later, the same authors published the work using RuO 2 nanoparticles, whose fuel properties were very similar to that of CuO nanoparticles [128] except for the difference in the cetane index value.…”

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.
