Prospects and Challenges of Nanofluids as Improved Fuel for Diesel and Gasoline Engines: a Critical Review

EasyChair Preprint 6946

Abstract

Climate change has been a global challenge which researchers have been trying to curtail over the years using different scientific approach, a major contributor to climate change is combustion of fossil fuel which has influenced the search for alternative fuel sources among which is biodiesel. However, Biodiesel is associated with its limitation including Higher nitrogen oxide (NOx) emission. This paper therefore present various recent findings and the impacts of blending nanoparticles with biodiesel and conventional diesel, the merits and demerits in terms of power output, fuel consumption and emissions as well as the possibility of using nanofluids as future alternative fuel for diesel and gasoline engines.

Keyphrases: Biodiesel, Emission, Nanofluids, fossil fuel, power output
