<abstract> <p>In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in additives for fuel research in the field of internal-combustion engine. Many studies have been conducted to improve the performance and emissions of the engine. Many kinds of additives in the form of solid, liquid, and gas have been used. The objective of this review is to examine the effects of having additives on the performance and emission of internal combustion engine. Additives such as alcohol, hydrogen, and metal oxides are proven to be successful to improve performance or reduce emission. Results from selected papers are discussed and summarised in a table. With the new development in nanotechnology, many researchers have shown an increased interest in carbon-based.

With the new developments in nanotechnology, many researchers have shown an increased interest in carbon-based nanoparticles such as multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT). Lately, with the discovery of graphene production techniques, graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) have also been applied as fuel additives. In addition to understanding the effects of the additives on the engine performance and emissions, researchers extended the research to predict the outcome of the performance and emissions. nanoparticles such as multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) and single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT).

In addition to the understanding the effects of the additives to the engine performance and emissions, researchers extended the research to predict the outcome of the performance and emissions. The experiments involving the predictions efforts are summarised in a table. From the summary, it is found that the prediction of the GNP as fuel additive effects to the performance and emissions has not yet been explored. This gap is an opportunity for researchers to explore further.</p> </abstract>


The internal combustion engine manifold has a subsystem that supplies the fresh A/F mixture to the engine cylinders where the fuel is combusted. For efficient combustion of charge, the walls of the intake manifold must be smooth / polished to minimize any side resistance. To redesign the inlet port of a small internal combustion engine, to increase the production of turbulence by a swirl. A good swirl promotes more rapid combustion and improves efficiency. The CI engine has a piston shaped flat on the crown and a concave combustion chamber, with this geometry we are driving the engine. But here the A/F ratio mixture cannot mix properly. To avoid this we make piston geometry changes. The main objective of this project is that three new technologies have been adopted here. The first stage is varying the diameter of the convergence - the divergent nozzle. The second stage is the change on the piston head and the last stage is replacing the inlet and exhaust valve with pitch 0.5. Mm to 2 mm and the cut thread depth is 4 mm and three threads per inch. All of these techniques aim to investigate performance techniques to increase air flow to achieve improved engine performance and emissions in direct injection (DI) single cylinder diesel engines. Compared with traditional engine.

Depletion of fossil fuel reserves and stringent pollution norms has created a need for search alternate source that can fuel internal combustion engine. The fuels obtained from green matter has got great potential to replace conventional fossil fuels to power internal combustion engine (ICE). But the performance of the ICE are influenced by many parameters such as injector opening pressure, injection timing, and combustion chamber profile. Current work deals with evaluation of engine performance, combustion characteristics of direction injection diesel engine fitted with re-entrant toroidal (RET) combustion chamber equipped with six hole nozzle fueled with castor oil methyl esters (CAOME) and ethanol blends. The peak value of break thermal efficiency (BTE) is found to be 26.34% at 75% load for a blend 80D+5B+15E with minimum emissions and with combustion duration and ignition delay in comparison with diesel

An internal combustion engine essentially requires a fuel which must have sufficient calorific value to produce enough power, and oxygen for the combustion of fuel. In normal vehicles fuel will be supplied from a fuel tank equipped with it. And oxygen will be taken from the atmospheric itself. Under normal conditions the percentage of oxygen present in atmospheric air will be around 21% of the total volume. Studies shows that by increasing the oxygen percentage in the inlet air increases engine performance and reduces emission produced by the engine.

Investigation of a new type of fuel for the internal combustion engine, which can be successfully used in both the power generation and the automotive industries, is presented in this article. The proposed fuel is a blend of 75% n-butanol and 25% glycerol. The engine tests conducted with this glycerol–butanol blend were focused on the performance, combustion thermodynamics, and exhaust emissions of a spark-ignition engine. A comparative analysis was performed to find potential similarities and differences in the engine fueled with gasoline 95 and the proposed glycerol–butanol blend. As measured, CO exhaust emissions increased, NOx emissions decreased, and UHC emissions were unchanged for the glycerol–butanol blend when compared to the test with sole gasoline. As regards the engine performance and combustion progress, no significant differences were observed. Exhaust temperature remarkably decreased by 3.4%, which contributed to an increase in the indicated mean effective pressure by approximately 4% compared to gasoline 95. To summarize, the proposed glycerol–butanol blend can be directly used as a replacement for gasoline in internal combustion spark-ignition engines.
