Abstract

The present study focuses on the overview of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) of a diesel engine fuelled with the Nano Al, Mg, Zr, Ti, Ni, CuO, CuCl2, CoCl2, FeCl3 and CuSO4 can be used as a catalyst for Diesel engine. This study reveals that the addition of carbon nanotubes to petroleum drived fuel had minimal influence on CO and HC emissions. The data were also showed that there was an average increment in Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC) and decrease in brake thermal efficiency (BTE) in case of blends with MWCNTs and the power was slightly increased on an average of 0.60%-0.80% while operating on blends with MWCNTs.
