An experimental study of particulate matter and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emissions was conducted on a direct injection gasoline (DIG) engine and a port fuel injection (PFI) engine which both ....
A problem for the diesel engine that remains since its invention is injection nozzle hole fouling. More advanced injection systems and more complex fuels, now also including bio-components, have made ....
The latent heat-of-vaporization (HoV) of blends of biofuel and hydrocarbon components into gasolines has recently experienced expanded interest because of the potential for increased HoV to increase f....
The compatibility of notable infrastructure elastomers and plastics with DME and its blends with diesel fuel were examined using solubility analysis. The elastomer materials were fluorocarbon, acrylon....
Octane appetite of modern engines has changed as engine designs have evolved to meet performance, emissions, fuel economy and other demands. The octane appetite of seven modern vehicles was studied in....
To face the challenges of fossil fuel shortage and air pollution problems, there is growing interest in the potential usage of alternative fuels such as bio-ethanol and bio-butanol in internal combust....
High octane fuel (e.g., E85) effectively suppresses knock, but the octane ratings of such fuels are much above what is required under normal driving conditions. It is important, therefore, to understa....
Port fuel injection (PFI) injector and direct fuel injection (DI) injector clogging from deposits caused by poor fuel quality, is a concern in emerging countries. Then DI injector deposits are sometim....
The US Navy is in the process of evaluating Catalytic Hydrothermal Conversion Jet fuel (CHCJ-5) for inclusion in the JP-5 specification, MIL-DTL-5624, and evaluating Catalytic Hydrothermal Conversion ....
In the present study, the enhancement of an engine performance and emission characteristics by the addition of nanoparticles to the fuel is presented. In this regard, Aluminum Oxide (Al2O3) Nanopartic....
