A comparative study of combustion and emission characteristics of dual-fuel engine fueled with diesel/methanol and diesel-polyoxymethylene dimethyl ether blend/methanol

Hao Chen et al.

Summary: This study conducted a comparative study on the combustion characteristics and performances of a dual-fuel engine fueled with different fuels, revealing that using P50/methanol fuel can increase peak cylinder pressure, decrease first peak heat release rate, and reduce ignition delay and combustion duration. Additionally, the NOx emissions and particulate matter produced by the P50/methanol engine were lower than those produced by the diesel/methanol engine for specific MSR and engine load conditions.

Exergetic performance evaluation of a diesel engine powered by diesel/biodiesel mixtures containing oxygenated additive ethylene glycol diacetate

Sama Amid et al.

Summary: This study investigated the performance of a diesel engine running on fuel mixtures with EGDA from exergoeconomic and exergoenvironmental perspectives. The results showed that engine load significantly influenced the exergetic parameters, and adding EGDA to fuel mixtures did not improve the engine's performance due to its energy-intensive and cost-prohibitive production process. Overall, the adverse effects of additives on thermodynamic parameters of diesel engines, especially on exergoeconomic and exergoenvironmental indices, should be considered before real-world application.

Enhancement of idling characteristics using multi-objective approach in light-duty diesel Vehicle fuelled with orange peel biofuel

R. Vignesh et al.

Summary: The research aims to use orange peel oil as a blend fuel in diesel engines to optimize engine fuel map for reduced emissions. Under the optimal conditions, significant reductions in carbon monoxide and smoke emissions are observed, but there is an increase in nitrogen oxides emissions and a trade-off with reduced thermal efficiency and increased fuel consumption.

Performance assessment of multiple biodiesel blended diesel engine and NOx modeling using ANN

Siraj Sayyed et al.

Summary: This paper discusses the impact of various blends of dual biodiesels on the characteristics of DICI engine, finding that the physicochemical properties and combustion characteristics of these blends are similar to neat diesel. However, there is a reduction in CO emissions and an increase in CO2 emissions for all blends, at the expense of HC and NOx emissions. An attempt has been made to predict NOx emissions based on physicochemical properties.

Investigation on combustion characteristics of cyclopentanol/diesel fuel blends in an optical engine

Hao Chen et al.

Summary: The study found that cyclopentanol has a significant impact on combustion characteristics, prolonging ignition delay, shortening combustion duration, and improving indicated thermal efficiency. Compared to diesel, cyclopentanol blends perform better in reducing peak combustion pressures and peak heat release rates, effectively reducing soot emissions.
