We forced biodiesel to oxidize and heated biodiesel to accelerate its oxidation at about 110° for 10 days. Total particle number and size distribution were investigated in unoxidized and oxidized biod....
The main aim of this work was to study knock, pre-ignition, performance and emissions of an alternative novel jojoba bio-gasoline fuel using a Ricardo E6/MS variable compression ratio spark ignition e....
To reduce exhaust emissions and dependency on petroleum-based fuels, various alcohols have been considered as gasoline substitutes for spark ignition engines. In the existing vehicle fleet, the use of....
Depleting fossil resources, a constantly rising energy demand and worries about greenhouse gas emissions force society to explore novel concepts for future mobile propulsion. In the context of biofuel....
Cold operability is estimated by fuel's cold filter plugging point (CFPP). However, correlation of CFPP with diesel vehicle performance originates from a period when simple in-line or distributor fuel....
Over the past decade significant research and development activities have been invested in alternative fuels in order to reduce our dependency on fossil fuel sources and reduce CO₂ and local emissions....
The introduction of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) into the diesel pool has led to an increase in the incidence of diesel fuel filter blocking. In contrast to conventional diesel, filter blocking even....
Iso-stoichiometric ternary blends - in which three-component blends of gasoline, ethanol and methanol are configured to the same stoichiometric air-fuel ratio as an equivalent binary ethanol-gasoline ....
The objective of this paper is to compile the findings of more than 40 scientific publications and provide information on the technical performance of HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) in diesel engine....
Waste or used transformer oil (UTO) possesses a considerable heating value and physical properties similar to diesel fuel. But, the viscosity and density are marginally higher than diesel fuel. The pr....
Natural gas is a potential alternative to conventional liquid fuels for use in automotive internal combustion engines. The primary goal of this study is to understand how gas composition changes might....
In the past decade, a significant market has emerged for automotive fuels produced from renewable sources. Blends containing low concentrations of ethanol have been the readily-available choice for pr....
The suitability of caprylic (C8:0), lauric (C12:0), and palmitic (C16:0) acid 2-ethylhexyls derived from palm/coconut oil in diesel engine was evaluated. The pour point of each compound was approximat....
