This paper deals with the study on the influence of the effects of iron oxide nanoparticle additives when added to ternary fuel (diesel + mahua methyl ester + pentanol) on the emission, combustion, and performance characteristics of a four stroke, single cylinder, common rail direct injection diesel engine working at a constant speed and varying operating scenarios. Doping is done in various proportions to the nanoparticle additives with the help of a homogenizer and ultrasonicator where the cationic surfactant used is CTAB (cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide). Iron oxide nanoparticles were used as additives in fuel in the dosages of 40 ppm, 80 ppm, and 120 ppm respectively and TF (ternary fuel) is obtained by mixing 10% pentanol, 20% mahua, and 70% diesel together is used for the experimental study. The experimental study revealed that while using the nanoparticle additives blended ternary fuel (i.e., TF80), the number of harmful pollutants like smoke (5.38%), HC (6.39%), carbon monoxide (10.24%), and NOₓ has reduced to a considerable extent and there was a commendable improvement in the BTE by 8.8%. So, we can summarize that when ternary fuel and nano additives are blended together the combustion and performance of the engine was improved considerably and pollutant emissions were decreased.
