Nanofuels Research at ASU




Nanotechnology shows promise for fuel efficiency according to ASU researchers. ...
... "The presence of the nanoparticles likely enables the fuel to burn more efficiently, and increases the volumetric heat content of the fuel. Previous work has already shown that adding nanoparticles to other liquids, such as water, improves the heat and mass transfer inside the liquid, in part because of the stirring caused by the nanoparticles' Brownian motion. " ...
