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
Extensive analyses of diesel–vegetable oil–n-butanol ternary blends in a diesel engine
TL;DR: In this article, n-butanol was used as the common solvent and crude canola (Cn), soybean (Sb), sunflower (Sf), corn (Cr), olive (Ol), and hazelnut oil (Hn) components were used for making microemulsification of diesel fuel (D)-vegetable oil blends.
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.

TL;DR: In this article, the performance and emissions of a compression and spark ignition engine using of alcohol fuels from the first aliphatic alcohol family; methanol, ethanol, propanol and butanol was reviewed and summarized to demonstrate its viability as an alternative fuel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quaternary blends of diesel, biodiesel, higher alcohols and vegetable oil in a compression ignition engine
TL;DR: In this article, diesel fuel was mixed with biodiesel, and biodiesel-vegetable oil (VO)-alcohol blends using the higher alcohols of propanol (Pro) and pentanol (Pen).

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.
