PFI (port fuel injection) of n-butanol and direct injection of biodiesel to attain LTC (low-temperature combustion) for low-emissions idling in a compression engine

TLDR
In this paper, n-butanol PFI was investigated in a direct injection compression ignition engine while at idling speeds, and loads, 1-3 bar IMEP (indicated mean effective pressure) in order to determine the effects on combustion, efficiency, emissions, and specifically, a modified tradeoff of soot and nitrogen oxides.

Investigation on Spray and Soot Lift-Off Length of an ABE-Diesel Blend in a Constant Volume Chamber With Diesel Engine Conditions

TL;DR: In this article, 20% ABE with component ratio of 3:6:1 and 80% ultra-sulfur diesel by volume, referred as ABE20, and pure diesel, referred to D100, were injected and combusted in a constant volume chamber with the ability to mimic high temperature and high pressure conditions of real diesel cylinder near the top dead center.

Biobutanol: An attractive biofuel

TL;DR: The best‐studied bacterium to perform a butanol fermentation is Clostridium acetobutylicum, and its genome has been sequenced, and the regulation of solvent formation is under intensive investigation, opening the possibility to engineer recombinant strains with superior biobutanol‐producing ability.

Compression-Ignited Homogeneous Charge Combustion

TL;DR: In this article, a systematic study was carried out to evaluate the response of compression-ignited homogeneous charge (CIHC) combustion to changes in operating parameters with emphasis being placed on the phenomena involved rather than the detailed chemical kinetics.
