Abstract
Nanoparticle additives play a significant role in enhancing the engine efficiency through better ignition, combustion, lower ignition delay and low emission to ensure cleaner environment. A study was conducted on evaluating the filtration performance of diesel in the presence of nanoparticles of chosen additives viz., graphene nanoparticles, graphene oxide. Various proportions starting from 20 ppm of nanoparticles of additives were blended in diesel and the filtration characteristics were investigated to arrive at the optimum mix of the nanoparticles of these additives. The filtration performance was monitored with reference to the conditions of temperature, pre-test pressure, flow rate as per ASTM standard (D2068-14). It was observed that the Filter Blocking Tendency (FBT) as measured by Tamson Filter Blocking Tendency (TFBT) apparatus tended to increase with increase in additive proportion. A maximum of 140 ppm of graphene nanoparticles and 270 ppm of graphene oxide were found to keep the Filter Blocking Tendency (FBT) within the acceptable limit of 1.41.
