TL;DR: In this paper, the combustion of ethanol and blends of ethanol with diesel fuel and additives was investigated with the aid of a heat release model, and the advantages of using ethanol as compared to using diesel fuel were amplified at high fuelling rates where maximum rates of premixed combustion were substantially less and duration of diffusion combustion was shorter.

TL;DR: An improved diesel fuel based on a blend of biodiesel and ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel, particularly with a fuel additive containing a concentrate containing fuel borne catalyst (FBC), was proposed in this paper.
Abstract: An improved diesel fuel based on a blend of biodiesel and ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel, particularly with a fuel additive containing a concentrate containing fuel borne catalyst (FBC). The catalyst will preferably comprise platinum and/or cerium and/or iron, and the ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel will preferably contain less than 10% aromatics. The biodiesel is typically employed in an amount of about 20% of the blend.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) combined with the addition of n-octanol on the performance, emissions, and particulate matter (PM) of a direct injection diesel engine were investigated.
