Although the Compression Ignition Engines are a significant source of power, their detrimental emissions initiated the searches for alternative fuels that are renewable, safe and non-polluting. Even many researchers have put valid efforts in fuel modification, the current work describes the role of multiple nanofuel additives in diesel fuel. In this context, Aluminium oxide and Cobalt oxide nanoparticles are incorporated with the diesel fuel to investigate the performance, emission and combustion characteristics of a four stroke, single cylinder diesel engine. Experiments were carried out using five different additive combinations, neat diesel and diesel with some commercial additive for comparison. The experimental outcome revealed a substantial enhancement in brake thermal efficiency and a marginal reduction in harmful pollutants such as NOX, CO and smoke, for a particular nano additive proportion compared to that of neat diesel and commercial additive incorporated diesel.
