Use of pentanol and nanoparticles as additives in diesel engines

Abstract

In this study, the use of Pentanol and metal nano magnesium compounds as additives in diesel engines was investigated. Diesel fuel was used as a reference in the experiments. During the fuel preparation process, 50% pentanol by volume was added to the reference diesel fuel and a Diesel/Alcohol binary mixture was formed. Then, this mixing ratio was repeated and an extra 200mg/L Metal Nano Magnesium Oxide (MNMO) was added and Diesel/Alcohol/Nanoparticle triple mixtures were formed. Obtained test fuels were tested at 3.0 average effective pressure (BMEP) and 1500 constant engine speed conditions. P-V diagram, cylinder pressure, heat release rate, average gas temperatures and pressure rise rate data were taken in the tests. From the test results, binary mixtures and all combustion data and It was observed that the P-V closed area was high. It has been determined that there are effective reductions in combustion data with ternary mixture fuels.
