Abstract
Combustion characteristics of fuels can be improved by addition of nanoparticles. In this work, fuels prepared by adding Aluminium and Iron nanopowders into butanol as well as a nanoparticle laden fuel, prepared by laser ablation, are studied. Three types of experiments are conducted, namely, (i) burning of suspended droplets to understand the effect of nano-particle type and concentration on burning rate behavior (ii) ignition of fuel droplets on a heated plate and (iii) the energy density measurements using an oxygen bomb calorimeter. The enhancement of combustion properties and distinct features of nanofuel combustion are discussed.
