Effects of diesel/PODE (polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers) blends on combustion and emission characteristics in a heavy duty diesel engine
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of diesel/PODE blends on the combustion and emission characteristics with the PODE volume blending ratio of 15% and 25% have been experimentally investigated in a heavy duty diesel engine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of fuel molecular structure on auto-ignition behavior – Design rules for future high performance gasolines
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the inner workings of octane boosters has been long overdue, particularly at a time when feedstocks for transport fuels other than crude oil, such as natural gas and biomass, are enjoying a rapidly growing market share as discussed by the authors.
