Özet

In the present study, performance and emission changes in a compression ignition engine were investigated by combining two methods. The first method involves adding nanoparticle additives to diesel fuel. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) with a particle size of 21 nm was used as nanoparticle. TiO2 was added to diesel fuel at doses of 50 mg and 100 mg per 1 kg (50 and 100 ppm). After adding the nanoparticle to the diesel fuel, each mixture was stirred with a mechanical stirrer for one hour. In the second method, a magnetic field of 1 tesla was created around the fuel. Neodymium magnets were placed circularly around the diesel fuel line to create the magnetic field. The experiments were carried out at 660 RPM engine speed and 100% torque. During the experiments, data on engine performance, in-cylinder pressure and emissions were recorded. This study aims to contribute to the development of alternative fuel applications to improve performance and emissions in compression ignition engines.
