Abstract
Recent studies have shown that the addition of nanomaterials to fuels can improve combustion characteristics. A downside, however, is that these mixtures are unstable and prone to phase separation. Finding stable nanomaterial-fuel mixtures are required to make these mixtures viable for practical use. Current research studied the stability of Renewable jet fuel combined with multiple nanomaterial additives being acetylene black, graphene nanoparticles, and multiwalled carbon nanotubes, at 1.0% w/w ratio. Results were compared with prior research and it was shown that renewable jet fuel had a similar effect on settling as soy biodiesel and the results indicated that the fuel' s bulk viscosity was not a major factor determining the stability of the nanofuel.
