TL;DR: Titanium dioxide nanoparticles are used as fuel additive in a compressed ignition engine Concentration of nanoparticles to be added for a stable dispersion is optimized experimentally Density, fire point, viscosity, and calorific value of nanoparticle dispersion in diesel are experimentally determined as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of CuO, TiO 2 and Nano-Diamond nanoparticles additives in API-SF engine oil, on static characteristics of an externally adjustable fluid-film bearing was evaluated for various simulated operating conditions.

TL;DR: In this paper, an increase in lubricant viscosity due to presence of TiO 2 nanoparticles is modelled using a modified Krieger-Dougherty viscoity model.

TL;DR: In this article, the static characteristics of a journal bearing operating on a TiO2-based nanolubricant were obtained by a variable viscosity approach. And the predicted shear viscosities of a NiO2 based nanoline-based journal bearing at different volume fractions and aggregate particle sizes were obtained using modified Krieger-Dougherty model and were found to be in good agreement with experimental shear-viscosity.

TL;DR: In this paper, an attempt is made to use titanium dioxide and calcium carbonate nanoparticles as fuel additive in a C.I. Engine, which results in an average 16% lesser smoke emission compared to plain B20.
