Investigation on the structural effects of the addition of alcohols having various chain lengths into the vegetable oil-biodiesel-diesel fuel blends: An attempt for improving the performance, combustion, and exhaust emission characteristics of a compression ignition engine
TL;DR: In this article, diesel fuel was blended with biodiesel (safflower oil methyl ester), biodiesel-vegetable oil, and biodiesel vegetable oils-alcohol (ethanol-C2, isopropanol C3, n-butanol C4, or isopentanol C5) mixture to improve the performance of a single-cylinder, four-stroke, air-cooled, direct-injection diesel engine generator set.

The effect of alcohol fumigation on diesel engine performance and emissions
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of ethanol fumigation (i.e., the addition of ethanol to the intake air manifold) and ethanol-diesel fuel blends on the performance and emissions of a single cylinder diesel engine have been investigated experimentally and compared.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emission reduction potential of using ethanol–biodiesel–diesel fuel blend on a heavy-duty diesel engine
TL;DR: In this article, the emission characteristics of a three compounds oxygenated diesel fuel blend (BE-diesel), on a Cummins-4B diesel engine were analyzed and the results showed a significant reduction in PM emissions and 2-14% increase of NOx emissions.

Study on performance and emissions of a passenger-car diesel engine fueled with butanol–diesel blends
TL;DR: In this article, a high-speed direct injection (DI) diesel engine for passenger-car application for varied loads at two representative engine speeds was tested, and the results showed that butanol-diesel blends slightly increased combustion pressure and accelerated burning rate.
