TLDR
In this paper, the authors used three advanced bio-fuels with a low cetane number, viz. dimethyl carbonate (DMC), iso-butanol and n -pentanol with blend-ratios of 15, 38 and 45vol% in diesel, respectively (that corresponds to a uniform oxygen content of 8%) in a single-cylinder DI diesel engine.About:

A comprehensive review on performance, combustion and emission characteristics of biodiesel fuelled diesel engines
Abstract: Direct injection diesel engines are more popular in the automotive sector than spark ignition (SI) engines due to its fuel lean operation However, the demand of fossil fuel is rising day by day and hence the major fuel source of diesel engine, the petroleum based fuel, is depleting rapidly Many countries depend mainly on imported fossil fuels due to lack of fuel reserves and it has great impact on the economy In addition to this, the major concerns of diesel engine are its oxides of nitrogen and smoke emissions Therefore, for the past several decades extensive efforts are being made to search for alternate fuels to overcome the dependence on fossil fuel and environment pollution In this regard, several alternate fuels namely hydrogen, oxygenated fuels like alcohol fuels, dimethyl ether and biodiesel fuels etc, have been extensively analysed Recent studies show that biodiesel is one of the most promising alternate fuels for diesel engines because of its biodegradable, oxygenated, sulphur free and renewable characteristics Hence, it is getting the attention of researchers all over the world The blends of biodiesel with fossil diesel have many benefits like reduction in emissions, lower engine wear, lesser engine oil consumption and comparable thermal efficiency vis-a-vis diesel fuel Exhaustive experimental works have been carried out to analyse the suitability of biodiesel fuel as alternate fuel and to explore their advantages in diesel engines Hence, this paper is attempted to present a comprehensive review on the performance, combustion and emission characteristics of some important biodiesel fuels on diesel engines This comprehensive review on the published literature will be helpful to the researchers to understand the state-of-the-art technology of the biodiesel fuelled compression ignition engine

A comparative analysis of n-butanol/diesel and 1-pentanol/diesel blends in a compression ignition engine
Alpaslan Atmanli,Nadir Yilmaz +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, six different binary (D-nB and D-Pn) fuel mixtures were obtained by mixing the diesel fuel with n-butanol and 1-pentanol at low and high mixing ratios (5, 25% and 35% alcohol by volume).

Experimental evaluation of a diesel engine running on the blends of diesel and pentanol as a next generation higher alcohol
Nadir Yilmaz,Alpaslan Atmanli +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the engine performance and exhaust emission characteristics of a diesel engine fueled with diesel-1-pentanol blends and found that the addition of 1-pentanol had a significant impact on the increase of oxides of nitrogen (NO x ) emissions.

Advanced compression-ignition engines—understanding the in-cylinder processes
TL;DR: The development of advanced compression-ignition (CI) engines can deliver both high efficiencies and very low NOX and particulate (PM) emissions, but unlike conventional diesel engines, the charge is highly dilute and premixed (or partially premixed) to achieve low emissions as mentioned in this paper.
