Effect of injection timing on combustion, emission and particle morphology of an old diesel engine fueled with ternary blends at low idling operations
TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the combustion, engine performance, and emission characteristics of an old diesel engine fueled with diesel-palm biodiesel-ethanol (DPE) ternary blended fuels according to various multiple injection strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of biofuel generated contamination, engine oil degradation and engine wear
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of biofuels in engine oil degradation in terms of contamination, fuel dilution, oxidation and blow-by and wear is revealed, and a platform is provided to understand the tribological relationship between lubricating oil and engine components.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance and combustion characteristics of a compression ignition engine running on diesel-biodiesel-ethanol (DBE) blends – Potential as diesel fuel substitute on an Euro III engine
Florian Pradelle,Sergio Leal Braga,Ana Rosa Fonseca de Aguiar Martins,Franck Turkovics,Renata Nohra Chaar Pradelle +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, an Euro III compression ignition engine was tested with blends of diesel B15 fuel with ethanol (0-20"vol%) and 1"vol% of an original additive, defined as a mixture of 72.5% castor oil, 17.5 % soybean biodiesel and 10 % n-butanol.

Synthesis, Performance and Emission Quality Assessment of Ecodiesel from Castor Oil in Diesel/Biofuel/Alcohol Triple Blends in a Diesel Engine
Beatriz Hurtado,Alejandro Posadillo,Diego Luna,Felipa M. Bautista,José M. Hidalgo,Carlos Luna,Juan Calero,Antonio A. Romero,Rafael Estevez +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the use of second-generation biofuels based mainly on Castor oil, which is not adequate for food use, and Sunflower oil as a standard reference for recycled oils was proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of butanol isomers on diesel engine performance, emission and combustion characteristics under different load conditions
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of a high proportion of tert-butanol on combustion and emission of a common rail diesel engine was studied, and the results showed that compared with pure diesel, butanol can effectively reduce soot emissions but also will produce higher NOx and CO emission under the low load.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance and combustion characteristics of biodiesel–diesel–methanol blend fuelled engine
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of using methanol as additive to biodiesel-diesel blends on the engine performance, emissions and combustion characteristics of a direct injection diesel engine under variable operating conditions were evaluated.

Green energy: Water-containing acetone–butanol–ethanol diesel blends fueled in diesel engines
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of water-containing ABE-diesel blends were investigated to simulate the use of ABE fermentation products without dehydration and no addition of surfactants, and it was found that ABE20W0.5 enhanced brake thermal efficiencies (BTE) by 3.26-8.56%.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
