A comparative study on the combustion and emissions of dual-fuel engine fueled with natural gas/methanol, natural gas/ethanol, and natural gas/n-butanol
Zhanming Chen,Long Wang,Ke Zeng +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of the addition of primary alcohol fuels (methanol, ethanol, and n-butanol) on the combustion characteristics and performance of natural gas engines are examined by experimentation with a dual-fuel test engine, followed by a comparative analysis of the test results.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blending Octane Number of Ethanol in HCCI, SI and CI Combustion Modes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used Clean Combustion Research Lab (CRL) for providing the engine experiment facilities and the published paper was supported by competitive research funding from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) and funds from Saudi Aramco under the FUELCOM program.

Laminar Flame Speeds and Kinetic Modeling of n-Pentanol and Its Isomers
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive experimental and computational study was conducted on the laminar combustion characteristics and chemical kinetics of four pentanol isomer-air mixtures (n-pentanol, 3-methyl-1-butanol, 2-methyl, 1 butanol, and 2methyl-2butanol) at the equivalence ratios ranging from 0.6 to 1.8.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
