Özet

In recent years, searching for efficient solutions to improve the emission and performance characteristics of diesel engines is considered as one of the essential and urgent work. Metal nanoparticles with a large surface area and high heat transfer coefficient could provide the impressive additive ability to the fuel reactivity and atomization. Therefore, the critical role of metal nanoparticles in the support of diesel engine behaviors using biodiesel and diesel is thoroughly evaluated in this current review. Indeed, preparation methods and critical properties of metal nanoparticles and metal nanoparticles-laden fuels are fully introduced. More importantly, the performance, combustion, emission characteristics, and tribology behaviors of diesel engines running on metal nanoparticles-laden biodiesel are compared to diesel fuel in detail. Generally, metal nanoparticles-included biodiesel facilitates the formation of a more homogeneous oxygen-containing mixture of fuel–air, resulting in a more complete combustion process than that of diesel fuel. As a result, the use of biodiesel with the presence of metal nanoparticles is considered as the potential strategy for promoting spay and atomization, enhancing the combustion process, increasing brake thermal efficiency (BTE), reducing toxic emissions (including carbon monoxide (CO), unburnt hydrocarbon (HC), and smoke), and improving tribology characteristics. However, some drawbacks are also indicated, such as increased NOx emission and brake-specific fuel consumption. In addition, it is also concluded that studies on other environmental impacts (such as PM emission), the stable properties of metal nanoparticles, and economic aspects should be made more extensively before commercial applications of metal nanoparticles in the real world.
