Pollution is the primary ecological threat to nature and it also raises the temperature of the Earth. The primary cause of air pollution is exhaust emissions from the combustion chamber. This study aims to focus on controlling emissions using an aqueous nanoemulsion method and to analyze positive vibrations for the reduction of pollutants in diesel engines. In this study 3% NWED (nano-based water emulsion diesel), 7% NWED, and 12% NWED emulsion blended diesel were mixed with Tween-20 as a solvent. In addition, this work was accomplished with a multiuser remote control system for the continuous monitoring of emissions with IoT technology applied to diesel engines. Experimental results have been measured with an IoT kit and five gas analyzers and reported that emission of oxides of nitrogen and hydrocarbons can be reduced by using a 7% NWED blend when compared with diesel. In addition, the experimental result also shows that the brake-specific fuel consumption is reduced with an improvement in thermal efficiency at 7% NWED when compared with other blends.
