Abstract :
This study involves the performance and emission of diesel engine with addition of nanoparticles. Current
research papers were showed there is a lot of scope for improvement in performance and reduction in emission by
using nanoparticles as an additive with diesel and biodiesel blends. In this paper work, detailed report about
nanoparticle as an catalytic agent with various biodiesel, alcohol and its blends has been discussed. By using
nanoparticles as an additive in diesel improves high surface area to volume ratio, thermal conductivity, mass
diffusivity, thermo physical properties when mixed with fluid medium. In this present work, the study of various
research papers to improve performance and emission reduction by using nanoparticles as an additive with diesel,
biodiesel, alcohol and its blends are reported.
