In this study, two different nanoparticle additives namely Cerium Oxide(CeO2) and Manganese Oxide(MnO2) were added to neat diesel and biodiesel at the addition dosage of 25 and 50 ppm. Fuel properties, engine performance and exhaust emission characteristics of obtained modified fuels were examined. The CeO2 and MnO2 act as an oxygen donating catalyst and provide oxygen for the oxidation of CO or absorb oxygen for the reduction of NOx. The activation energy of CeO2 and MnO2 acts to burn off carbon deposits within the engine cylinder at the wall temperature and prevents the deposition of non-polar compounds on the cylinder wall results reduction in HC emissions. The tests revealed that the optimum additive and dosage was determined as 25ppm of CeO2 and 25 ppm of MnO2 engine emission values namely NOx and CO were marginally decreased and engine performance values slightly increased with the addition of nanoparticle additives. | | Keywords : | | - Carbon Monoxide,Carbon Monoxide
