TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of butanol-biodiesel blends on the emissions and performance characteristics of a four-stroke, naturally aspirated, water-cooled, indirect injection diesel engine (IDI) was investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, the performance and emission characteristics of the engine fueled with biodiesel-ethanol-diesel (BED) and BED-methanol (BMD) blends are compared to standard diesel fuel as the baseline.

TL;DR: In this article, ethanol was mixed with biodiesel-diesel blends and the effect of ethanol concentration on diesel emissions was investigated, both low and high concentrations of ethanol were studied.

TL;DR: In this article, n-butanol was used as the common solvent and crude canola (Cn), soybean (Sb), sunflower (Sf), corn (Cr), olive (Ol), and hazelnut oil (Hn) components were used for making microemulsification of diesel fuel (D)-vegetable oil blends.

TL;DR: In this paper, the performance and emission characteristics of a two-cylinder, 4-cycle, direct injected, water-cooled diesel engine at five loads between no load and a full load of 3000rpm were compared to standard diesel, neat biodiesel, biodiesel(85%)-methanol(15%) (B85M15), and biodiesel-alcohol blends, as compared to diesel, reduce NO emissions while increasing CO and HC emissions.
