Experimental investigation of the effect of compression ratio and injection pressure in a direct injection diesel engine running on Jatropha methyl ester
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of the engine design parameters viz. compression ratio (CR) and fuel injection pressure (IP) jointly on the performance with regard to fuel consumption (BSFC), brake thermal efficiency (BTHE), and emissions of CO, CO2, HC, NOx and Smoke opacity with JME as fuel.

Advances in diesel–alcohol blends and their effects on the performance and emissions of diesel engines
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the fuel properties of methanol, ethanol and butanol compared with conventional gasoline and diesel fuel and concluded that butanol is a better alternative for diesel fuel due to its superior fuel properties and miscibility with diesel fuel.

Combustion characteristics of a turbocharged di compression ignition engine fueled with petroleum diesel fuels and biodiesel
TL;DR: The experimental results compared with No. 2 diesel fuel showed that biodiesel provided significant reductions in PM, CO, and unburned HC, but the NO(x) increased by 11.2%.

Internal combustion engines
TL;DR: A spark-ignition four-stroke gasoline engine, of the commonly mass-produced type having a plurality of cylinders provided each with two poppet valves mounted in a cylinder-head of the engine and constituting respectively an inlet valve, for passing a fuel-air mixture to the cylinder, and an exhaust valve for passing exhaust gases to an exhaust manifold of an engine, is given exhaust valves which are at least 7% greater in area than the inlet valves.
