ABSTRACT = {To improve the performances of diesel engines and to reduce the pollutants they emit, aluminum oxide nanoparticles in varying quantities (50, 100, 150 ppm) have been added to conventional diesel fuel. The results of such
experimental tests have revealed that the addition of nano-Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> particles to the diesel fuel reduces its consumption by 0.488%, 1.02%, and 1.377%, respectively and increases the brake thermal efficiency by 1.4%, 2.6%, and
3.8%, respectively. The concentrations of undesired gases decrease accordingly by 1.5%, 1.7%, and 2.8% for
HC and by 5.88%, 11.7%, and 17.6%, respectively, for CO. For the same percentages of nanoparticles, NOx
increases by 2.65, 4.36, and 5.37, while the TSP (Total Suspended Particulate) decreases by 22%, 34.66%, and
49.7%, respectively. In the same conditions, sulfur dioxide pollutants increase by 4.57%, 8.8% and 12.89%, and
H<sub>2</sub>S levels by 4.7%, 7.81% and 8.9%, respectively.},
