Reduced Chemical Kinetic Mechanism for a Waste Cooking Oil Biodiesel/n-Pentanol Mixture for Internal Combustion Engine Simulation

TL;DR: With increasing pollution concerns and stringent emission regulations, it has become difficult to meet the emission standards with the use of a single fuel as discussed by the authors. Binary and ternary fuel mixtures are bei

Experimental investigations to reduce unburned emissions in reactivity controlled compression ignition through fuel modifications

TL;DR: In this article, a production light duty diesel engine is modified to run in RCCI mode through suitable modifications, and it is observed that 20% butanol and 80% gasoline blend (G80B20) results in lower HC, CO emissions and higher brake thermal efficiency.

Influence of the functional group of fuels on the construction of skeletal chemical mechanisms: A case study of 1-hexane, 1-hexene, and 1-hexanol

TL;DR: In this paper, a skeletal chemical mechanism of surrogate fuels is built by integrating the reaction class-based global sensitivity analysis and the decoupling methodology, and the influence of the functional group was specially considered in the construction of the chemical mechanisms.

Autoignition of n-heptane and butanol isomers blends in a constant volume combustion chamber

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the autoignition characteristics of binary fuels of n-heptane, a typical surrogate of diesel fuel, and butanol isomers (n-butanol, i-Butanol, and s-Howeveranol) on a constant volume combustion chamber.

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.
