Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how zirconium nanoparticles made from biological waste can enhance the performance of diesel fuel when blended and burned in engines, particularly focusing on combustion efficiency and emissions reduction.
- - When zirconia nanoparticles were added to diesel fuel at 30 parts per million (ppm), thermal efficiency increased by 4.9%, and specific fuel consumption decreased across different power levels, demonstrating improved fuel economy.
- - The use of nanoparticles led to significant reductions in harmful emissions such as smoke, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides, alongside better combustion characteristics and engine performance, indicating 30 ppm as the optimal concentration for safety and efficiency in diesel engines.
