Biofuels have grabbed the attention of engine researchers ever since the oil-crisis and
escalating costs of petro-chemicals cropped up in the׳ 70s. Ethanol and methanol were the …

Depletion of fossil fuel resources and stringent emission mandates has spurred the search
for improved diesel engines performance and cleaner combustion. One of the best …

Ever since the research community highlighted the emission and sustainability aspects of
pure diesel in the transportation sector, then began the search of next prospective fuel …

The increasing energy demand, surging oil prices, depleting oil reserves and environmental
pollution problems associated with the use of fossil fuels have sparked renewed interest to …

In this study, the influence of the various alcohol additions in diesel fuel on combustion,

An experimental investigation is conducted to evaluate the effects of using blends of n-
butanol (normal butanol) with conventional diesel fuel, with 8%, 16% and 24%(by volume) n …

In this study, the effects of methanol–diesel (M5, M10) and ethanol–diesel (E5, E10) fuel
blends on the performance and exhaust emissions were experimentally investigated. For …

Alcohols have an interesting potential as blending components for diesel fuels because of
their capacity to reduce soot formation. Because they have increasing routes for their …
