This paper reports a series of experimental investigations into the effect of an Fe-based homogeneous combustion catalyst on the emission characteristics from a four-stroke single cylinder diesel engine. The catalyst contained ferrous picrate as the active ingredient in a composite organic...

The influence of a ferrous picrate based homogeneous combustion catalyst on the combustion characteristics and fuel efficiency was studied using a fully instrumented diesel engine. A naturally aspirated four stroke, single cylinder, air cooled, direct injection diesel engine was tested at engine...

The effect of a ferrous picrate based homogeneous combustion catalyst (FPC), known to improve diesel combustion efficiency, on the morphological and chemical characteristics of diesel soot was studied in detail. Diesel soot samples emitted from a laboratory CI engine fuelled with a commercial...
