Investigation on thermal properties of a novel fuel blend and its diesel engine performance

It is widely recognized that characteristics of fuel are strongly related with engine performance and exhaust emission. In this paper, a novel fuel blend is developed by adding carbon coated aluminium into diesel. Nanoparticles are blended with diesel in terms of different mass ratios, which are used for optimal selection. Thermo-physical properties of fuel blends are investigated at different testing temperatures. It is indicated that carbon...
