Nano-fueled gasoline produced from aluminum oxide (Al2O3) mixed with diesel fuel (particle diameter &lt;50 nm). The study was conducted on a single cylinder, four-stroke, direct-injecting diesel engine with a variable compression ratio of displacement (553 cm3). The engine develops of 3.7 kW at 1500 rpm. Three doses of nano-AL<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> particles (25, 50 and 100 ppm) are prepared. It is found generally that adding Nano-particles to diesel fuel reduces the emitted soot concentration. However the effect of adding nanoparticles is most significant at a dose of 100 ppm at full load. The results also show that the soot concentration is further reduced by increasing the engine compression ratio for all loads and doses.</p&gt;}, journal={Design Engineering}, author={Haroun A. K.
