Interest of combining nitroparaffin additives with diesel fuel for better performance and low soot generation

The motivation of this study is investigation on the effects of Nitromethane (NM) and Nitroethane (NE) as nitroparaffin additives on brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC), combustion performance and emission from diesel engine. Meanwhile these nitroparaffin additives have high oxygen content therefore are considered as oxygenated additives also. These additives blended with diesel fuel, 10% in volume. The experimental study was carried out on ECE R-96 8-modes cycle. The result showed that the use of these increase brake thermal efficiency (BTE) and exhaust emission such as smoke reduced to the minimum value 44% with NE. In general low Soot and CO2 emission were measured with these additives
