Preparation and performance improvement of methanol and palm oil/palm kernel oil blended fuel

Chao Jin et al.

Summary: Using fossil fuels in engines has led to energy shortages, carbon emissions, and environmental pollution. Methanol is considered a potential alternative fuel, but its use in diesel engines is hindered by poor auto-ignition properties and low heating value. Blending methanol with vegetable oil, particularly palm oil, has been proposed as a solution. Experimental results indicate stable microemulsions can be formed using methanol and palm kernel oil, with tetrahydrofuran as the most effective co-solvent. Palm kernel oil has a higher affinity for methanol compared to palm oil. Conductivity tests confirm the stability of the microemulsion. This study provides valuable insights for preparing carbon-neutral fuels in diesel engines.

Effects of PODE/diesel blends on particulate matter emission and particle oxidation characteristics of a common-rail diesel engine

Junheng Liu et al.

Summary: The study found that adding PODE to diesel fuel can effectively reduce smoke emissions, with the reduction becoming more significant with higher PODE blending ratios. The particle concentration distribution shifts towards smaller particle sizes and the total particle number concentrations decrease as PODE blending ratio increases. Additionally, the chemical properties and activation energy of pyrolysis reaction of particles are altered.

Experimental study on spray characteristics, combustion stability, and emission performance of a CRDI diesel engine operated with biodiesel-ethanol blends

Limin Geng et al.

Summary: The study found that adding ethanol to biodiesel improves spray characteristics and combustion performance in diesel engines. At low loads, peak cylinder pressures (PCPs) of BE blends are higher than diesel, while peak heat release rates (PHRRs) are also higher. However, at medium-high loads, PHRRs decrease and emissions decrease with increasing ethanol blending ratio.
