It is available in the literature that adding nanomaterials as additives to diesel fuel can improve engine performance and emission values. Many researchers have been worked in this field. In this study, the effects of adding nano-Ash and nano-TiO2 to diesel fuel have been investigated. In the test, brake thermal effciency and brake specific fuel consumption values and CO, CO2, HC, NOx values for emissions have been measured. Performance metrics have analyzed under five engine load conditions with a constant speed of 1500 rpm. These nanoparticles have added to the diesel as 1 gram per liter. Nanoparticles and diesel have been mixed for 1 hour with an ultrasonic mixer. These three different fuels (pure diesel, TiO2 (1 gr) +Diesel (1 liter) and Ash (1 gr) +Diesel (1 liter)) have compared at constant speed (1500 rpm) and different loads. The results of this study showed that diesel TiO2 and Ash addition increased BTE by 1% to 8% compared to diesel. With the addition of TiO2 to diesel, HC, CO and CO2 values decreased. The ash addition HC and CO2 decreased, while CO increased. The reason for the increase in CO is that 87% of the chemical content of ash is carbon. The addition of TiO2 to diesel, NO decreased. With the addition of ash, NO decreased. Ash addition was higher in all HC and NO emission values.
