Journal ArticleDOI
A detailed investigation on the performance, combustion, and exhaust emission characteristics of a diesel engine running on the blend of diesel fuel, biodiesel and 1-heptanol (C7 alcohol) as a next-generation higher alcohol
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the engine performance, exhaust gas emissions, and combustion behavior of a single-cylinder, four-stroke, water-cooled, naturally-aspirated, direct-injection (DI) diesel engine running on the binary blends of 1-heptanol/diesel fuel and biodiesel/diesels fuel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characteristics analysis of carbon nanowires in diesel: Neochloris oleoabundans algae oil biodiesel–ethanol blends in a CI engine
S. Karthikeyan,A. Prathima +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the diesel-biodiesel-ethanol blends in a diesel engine using carbon nanowires additives of various concentrations, and experimental results were studied for various parameters such as exhaust emission of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon, oxides of nitrogen gases, and smoke.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of fuel properties on combustion and emissions under both conventional and low temperature combustion mode fueling 2,5-dimethylfuran/diesel blends
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of DMF (2,5-dimethylfuran) on combustion and emissions were investigated on a diesel engine. And the results demonstrate that there is little difference in combustion and NO x emissions among Reference20, Heptane20 and diesel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production and application of ABE as a biofuel
Sattar Jabbar Murad Algayyim,Sattar Jabbar Murad Algayyim,Andrew P. Wandel,Talal Yusaf,Ihsan Hamawand +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the development in ABE production efficiency is reviewed and various methods of improving ABE production are presented. Butanol can be improved through metabolic engineering of the fermenting yeast (Clostridia) and/or pre-treatmentation techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quaternary blends of diesel/biodiesel/vegetable oil/pentanol as a potential alternative feedstock for existing unmodified diesel engine: Performance, combustion and emission characteristics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used quaternary blends with varying pentanol concentration (10% to 40%) with fixed concentration of oil (5%) and diesel (50%) for improving the performance and minimizing the emissions with marginal compromise in NOx emissions.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
