Effect of two-stage injection on combustion and emissions under high EGR rate on a diesel engine by fueling blends of diesel/gasoline, diesel/n-butanol, diesel/gasoline/n-butanol and pure diesel
TLDR
In this paper, the effect of two-stage injection on combustion and emission characteristics under high EGR (46%) condition were experimentally investigated, and the results showed that blending gasoline or/and n-butanol in diesel improves smoke emissions while induces increase in maximum pressure rise rate (MPRR).About:

Soot processes in compression ignition engines
Dale R. Tree,Kenth I. Svensson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a conceptual model based on in-cylinder soot and combustion measurements was used to explain the trends seen in exhaust particulate emissions and showed that diesel engine emissions control involves multi-injection combustion strategies which are transforming the picture of diesel combustion rapidly into a series of low temperature, stratified charge, premixed combustion events where NO x formation is avoided by leaning the mixture or increasing air entrainment prior to ignition.
