Abstract : Of an internal combustion engine. Many advancements have been made on the conventional internal combustion engine to reduce emission and increase the performance. Fuel magnetization is one of the new technologies used in internal combustion engines for reducing emission and improving performance. In this experimental study, the effect of strength and location of magnetization is compared by using an electromagnet as the fuel magnetizer. Density, kinematic viscosity, dynamic viscosity, flash and fire point of both normal and magnetized fuel have been measured and compared. Significant change in all these measured quantities was visible. Experiments have been conducted for finding the thermal efficiency and smoke emission of vertical single cylinder diesel engine by changing the location (10cm, 20cm and 30cm away from injector) and strength (0.3T, 0.6T and 0.9T) of electromagnet. The magnetized fuel shows better results than normal diesel.
