Abstract – In this work, the study on the effect of various nanomaterials in pure diesel has been carried out. The nanomaterials considered in this work are cerium zirconium oxide, cerium oxide and cerium zirconium oxide+cerium oxide. Further, the above said nanomaterials are mixed with diesel using utrasonicator for different dosage of 30 mg, 60 mg, 90 mg and 120 mg. Thereafter, the properties such as flash point, fire point, density, viscosity and calorific value of the diesel dispersed with above said nanomaterials are evaluated. It has seen from the result that flash point can be increased during mixture of Cerium Zirconium Oxide and Diesel (90 mg + 1 litre), fire point can be increased during mixture of Cerium Zirconium Oxide and Diesel (120 mg + 1 litre), Density of prepared sample has slightly increased compared to pure diesel, viscosity of prepared sample can be increased during mixture of Cerium Zirconium Oxide, Cerium Oxide and Diesel (30 mg + 1 litre) and Calorific value of prepared sample can be increased during mixture of Cerium Zirconium Oxide, Cerium Oxide and Diesel (120 mg + 1 litre).
