The experiments were performed using a modified six-cylinder turbocharged direct injection diesel engine with diesel of different distillation ranges to investigate the effects of (exhaust gas recirculation) EGR on engine performance and emission characteristics of low-temperature combustion...

The effect of DMF (2,5-dimethylfuran) on combustion and emissions were investigated on a diesel engine. Four different fuels, mixture of cetane and iso-cetane, n-heptane, DMF and mixture of DMF and EHN (2-ethylhexyl nitrate), were added into diesel fuel with 20% blending ratio by volume, denoted...

Compared with ethanol or methanol, butanol has higher heating value and higher miscibility. Because of lower cetane number of butanol, butanol-diesel blends are more suitable for diesel low temperature combustion (LTC). In the paper, experimental study was carried out on a modified single...
