Amongst primary alcohols, butanol is considered as the most promising alternative fuel candidate because of its favourable chemical and physical properties, which are quite similar to gasoline. Butanol is completely miscible with gasoline in any proportion and forms a stable blend. It is not...

In compression ignition engines, soot–NOx paradox is an extremely challenging unresolved issue. Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) is one of the most promising solution that combines the advantages of both SI and CI combustion modes. It gives high thermal efficiency similar to...
