<p>This book explores the use of nanomaterials as diesel fuel additives. It extensively reviews the diesel engine characteristics and the most frequently used nanomaterials and nanofuels and discusses the practical issues regarding the viability of nanomaterials as fuel additives from technical, environmental, and human health viewpoints.</p>

<p>Special attention is focused on questions related to the short-term use of nanomaterials in diesel engines, such as:</p>

<p>·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; What are the&nbsp;most important nanomaterial activities in diesel engines?</p>

<p>·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; What happens&nbsp;to nanomaterials at various stages, from the fuel tank to exhaust?</p>

·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; What are&nbsp;the effects of nanofuel usage on diesel engine characteristics? and<p></p>

<p>·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; What are&nbsp;the effects of nanomaterials on diesel engine parts and systems?</p>

Given its scope, this book is a valuable resource for researchers and engineers in environmental science, mechanical engineering, and chemical engineering fields, as well as for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students.<p></p><br>

<p>Tina Kegl&nbsp;completed her M.Sc. degree at the University of Maribor, Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, where she is now studying for her Ph.D. For her diploma and research works, she has received prestigious awards from international companies such as Krka and Henkel, the Dean’s Prize, the Perlach Prize from the University of Maribor, and a Zois scholarship from the Republic of Slovenia. Her research work chiefly involves nanotechnology, waste treatment, process system engineering, and sustainable development. </p>

<p>Assistant Professor&nbsp;Anita Kovač-Kralj&nbsp;completed her Ph.D. degree at the University of Maribor, Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. She has been working as an Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Technology since 2002 and has been a recipient of many award and grants. Her international experience includes a range of different countries and fields of study.&nbsp;Her research interests are reflected in her wide range of publications in national and international journals. </p>

<p>Professor&nbsp;Marko Kegl&nbsp;completed his Ph.D. degree at the University of Maribor, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. He teaches and conducts research in the areas of mechanics and computational engineering. His research focuses on the optimization of mechanical systems, especially time-dependent mechanical systems, and on sizing, shape, and topology optimization for statically loaded structures. During his postdoctoral research, he spent one year at the Technical University of Braunschweig, Germany as a Fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. </p>

<p>Professor&nbsp;Breda Kegl&nbsp;completed her Ph.D. degree at the University of Maribor, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. She teaches and conducts research in the area of internal combustion engines. Her research focuses on diesel engines, especially on alternative fuels, engine performance and emissions, and engine optimization. In addition to having engaged in various international industrial projects, for many years she was one of the mentors of the Formula Student team at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Maribor. </p><br>
