Summary:
In the current study, the performance and emissions changes in a compression ignition engine were investigated by combining two methods. The first method involves adding nanoparticle additives to diesel fuel. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) with a particle size of 21 nm was used as the nanoparticle. TiO2 was added to diesel fuel at doses of 50 mg and 100 mg per 1 kg(50 and 100 ppm). After the addition of the nanoparticle to the diesel fuel, each mixture was stirred with a mechanical mixer for one hour. In the second method, a magnetic field of 1 tesla was created around the fuel. Neodymium magnets were arranged circularly around the diesel fuel line to generate the magnetic field. Experiments were conducted at a motor speed of 660 RPM and at 100% torque. Data on engine performance, in-cylinder pressure, and emissions were recorded during the experiments. This study aims to contribute to the development of alternative fuel applications for improving performance and emissions in compression ignition engines.
