Effect of Nano-Particles on the Performance and Emission of a Diesel Engine using Biodiesel-Diesel Blend

n experimental investigation was conducted in a six - cylinder, four-stroke diesel engine to establish the effects of Multi Wall Carbon Nano Tubes (MWCNT) with the dosing levels from 2.5 to 30 ppm with the waste vegetable oil (WVO) methyl esters fuel that was produced using the transestrif...
