Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fuel additive consisting of alcohol, biodiesel, cetane improver, nanomaterial, surfactant and nanofluid base liquid, that will improve the physical and chemical properties of the fuel used in diesel engines, and to the production method for this fuel additive.
  • fuels have great importance in commonly used vehicles. Fuels directly affect the performance of the engine and harmful gases released into the atmosphere with their properties. Therefore, many fuel additives are being developed to improve fuel properties and used as mixtures in fuels. These fuel additives increase engine performance, improve combustion period and reduce harmful exhaust emissions, as well as improving the fuel properties.
  • diesel which is a fossil fuel
  • Biodiesel and alcohols are used in engines at various ratios, as an alternative fuel to the diesel fuel.
  • Pentanol is a five-carbon long and straight-chain hydrocarbon obtained by various biological or chemical processes.
  • An object of this invention is to realize a fuel additive that improves the engine performance (specific fuel consumption and thermal efficiency), combustion period and exhaust emission characteristics by increasing the oxygen content, cetane number and active surface area of the fuel used in diesel engines, and its production method.
  • Another object of this invention is to realize a fuel additive consisting of biodiesel, cetane improver, alcohol, nanomaterials and surfactants, and its production method.
  • the invention is a production method for fuel additive developed for diesel engines, comprising the following steps
  • nanofluid liquid by mixing the mixture containing ethylene glycol-based liquid, nanomaterials and surfactants with the help of a mechanical mixer, - Homogenizing the obtained nanofluid liquid with an ultrasonic mixer in a sealed reactor vessel with cold water circulation jacket,
  • Materials used in the fuel mixture obtained in the method according to the invention and the production method for the fuel mixture 52% to 86% by volume of diesel, as nanofluid base fluid, ethylene glycol-based fluid (C2H6O2) between 2% and 10% of the total solution volume, as nanomaterials Carbon NanoTube (CNT), Aluminum Oxide (AI2O3) and Zinc Oxide (ZnO) of sizes between 2 nm and 80 nm are used.
  • Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS) as a solid surfactant for the Carbon NanoTube (CNT) material, which is used as a surfactant and allows that nanomaterials are doped and said nanomaterials remain stable for a long time by forming a homogeneous mixture
  • Acetylacetone (acac) and Aluminum Oxide (AI2O3) as liquid surfactant for Zinc Oxide (ZnO) material used in the mixture
  • Sorbitan Monostearate (Span80) and Polyethylene Sorbitol Ester (Tween80) surfactants for nanoparticle are used.
  • Diethyl ether (DEE) is used as a cetane improver in order to increase the cetane number in the obtained fuel mixture with additives.
  • Types and usage rates of materials used in the the fuel additive and the production method thereof according to the invention differ based on the engine type, the intended use of the engine and the area of use of the engine.
  • Fuel mixture with additives is used in: Manned and unmanned aerial vehicles, rockets, land and sea vehicles, generators, power generation plants, especially in systems where diesel engines are used.
  • 2% to 10% of ethylene glycol-based fluid, nanomaterial and surfactant are placed into a sealed glass vessel and subjected to pre-mixing in the mechanical mixer between 800 and 1600 rpm for 10 to 20 minutes at room temperature.
  • the obtained nanofluid liquid is homogenized with an ultrasonic mixer between 300 W and 800 W in the range of 10 to 30 kHz for 1 to 3 hours in a sealed reactor vessel with cold water circulation jacket.
  • the homogenized nanofluid liquid is stabilized with an ultrasonic mixer in a sealed reactor vessel with cold water circulation jacket so that its Zeta Potential Value is at least 20 mV and above.
  • DEE diethyl ether
  • the mechanical and ultrasonic mixing process used in the method of the invention must be in a sealed glass vessel.
  • the reason why it is in a sealed glass vessel is to prevent the materials placed into it from being lost by evaporation during the process.
  • the reason why the sealed vessel used is preferred as glass is to prevent the mixture from reacting with the vessel.
  • Various surfactant materials are used in the fuel additive according to the invention, that allow the fuel used to be more efficient and stable.
  • the usage rate of these surfactant materials may vary based on the nanomaterial type.
  • solid surfactant Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS) which prevents the aggregation, precipitation of the nanomaterial and allows that the fuel mixture remains stable for a longer time, is added between 3 and 5 times the total nanomaterial added to the ethylene glycol solution.
  • Liquid surfactants Sorbitan Monostearate (Span80) and Polyethylene Sorbitol Ester (Tween80) materials are used in a one-to-one ratio (1:1) by volume to be between 0,5% and 2% of the total solution.
  • Another liquid surfactant Acetylacetone (acac) is used to form 1% to 5% of the total solution volume.
  • Biodiesel and pentanol used in the fuel additive of the invention increase the oxygen content of the diesel fuel, while diethyl ether (DEE) and biodiesel increase the cetane number of the mixture.
  • Another additive used in the fuel additive of the invention is nanomaterials that improve combustion by increasing the active surface area during combustion, and surfactants that prevent the aggregation and precipitation of nanoparticles by coating the surface of nanomaterials improve the engine performance, combustion period and release lower emissions into the atmosphere by improving combustion.
  • DEE diethyl ether
  • the nanomaterials used in the invention increase the surface area during combustion and provide more contact between oxygen and fuel. This improves combustion by creating a catalytic effect during combustion. Furthermore, nanomaterials improve combustion by penetrating more unburned air-fuel areas during combustion due to their high thermal conductivity properties.
