Abstract

Nanotechnology is accelerating technology in the field of science which plays a dominant role many aspects. Nanotechnology is dealing with production, manipulation and use of material ranging in nanometers. It takes different methods and processes to manufacture and development. Nanoparticle is not limited only to physics and manufacturing also extended its benefit in combustion of fuel. Combustion process without nanoparticle produces more emission and ineffective combustion due to many reasons. But the combustion process with nanoparticle produces very less emission and effective burning of fuel can be achieved. The reasons in achieving high efficiency may be due to reduction in the ignition timing, better atomisation and leading proper flame propagation in all conditions of the combustion process.
