How do the oxygenated functional groups in ether, carbonate and alcohol affect soot formation in Jet A2 diffusion flames?
Yong Ren Tan,Ikechukwu Iloh Udema,Maurin Salamanca,Maurin Salamanca,Jethro Akroyd,Markus Kraft,Markus Kraft +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, four oxygenated fuels: ethanol (EtOH), dimethyl carbonate (DMC), dimethoxymethane (DMM) and polyoxymethylene dimethyl ether (PODE 3 ) were blended with Jet A2 to investigate the sooting behaviour of the fuel mixtures.

Effects of Exhaust Gas Hydrogen Addition and Oxygenated Fuel Blends on the Light-Off Performance of a Three-Way Catalyst
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of adding hydrogen (H2) at levels up to 2500 ppm into the exhaust gases produced by combustion of various oxygenated C2-, C4 and renewable fuel molecules blended at 20 % wt/wt with gasoline was investigated.

The Effect of Methanol-Dodecanol Addition on Performance and Smoke Emission in a CI Engine with Diesel Fuel
TL;DR: In this paper , the effects of diesel-methanol-dodecanol blends on en-gine performance and smoke emission in a single-cylinder, four-stroke, water-cooled, normally aspirated compression ignition engine were investigated.
DissertationDOI
Autoignition chemistry of liquid and gaseous fuels in non-premixed systems
TL;DR: Alfazazi et al. as discussed by the authors employed non-premixed systems to better understand complex couplings between low/high temperature oxidation kinetics and diffusive transport, and used a two-stage Lagrangian model to compare model prediction of ignition delay time and experimental data from the KAUST ignition quality tester, and ignition data for liquid spraying in constant volume combustion chambers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigating the Effects of C3 and C4 Alcohol Blending on Ignition Quality of Gasoline Fuels
TL;DR: The ignition quality of alcohol blends with petroleum fuels is a subject of practical interest as mentioned in this paper, and it is well known that the ignition delay time (IDT), as well as the octane number (ON), are important indicators of the quality of a mixture of alcohol and petroleum fuels.

Mechanism and modeling of nitrogen chemistry in combustion
James A. Miller,Craig T. Bowman +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the mechanisms and rate parameters for the gas-phase reactions of nitrogen compounds that are applicable to combustion-generated air pollution are discussed and illustrated by comparison of results from detailed kinetics calculations with experimental data.

Environmental, economic, and energetic costs and benefits of biodiesel and ethanol biofuels
TL;DR: Transportation biofuels such as synfuel hydrocarbons or cellulosic ethanol, if produced from low-input biomass grown on agriculturally marginal land or from waste biomass, could provide much greater supplies and environmental benefits than food-basedBiofuels.
