Characterization from Diesel and Renewable Fuel Engine Exhaust: Particulate Size/Mass Distributions and Optical Properties

Investigation of performance and exhaust emission of diesel engine in different ratios of lambda coefficient using diesel-ethanol fuel blends

In recent decades, rising greenhouse gas emissions have become a major challenge and concern. Environmental pollution is one of the greatest human challenges of the 21st century. Improving the performance of internal combustion engines and reducing the amount of pollutant emissions has always been a concern for researchers. The use of alternative fuels and the control and adjustment of the lamb...

Diesel engine exhaust emission: oxidative behavior and microstructure of black smoke soot particulate.

Soot particulate collected from a Euro III heavy duty diesel engine run under black smoke conditions was investigated using thermogravimetry, transmission electron microscopy, electron energy loss spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The characterization results are compared with those of commercial carbon black. The onset temperature toward oxidation of the diesel engine soot in...

Performance and Exhaust Gas Emissions Analysis of Direct Injection Cng-diesel Dual Fuel Engine

Existing diesel engines are under stringent emission regulation particularly of smoke and particulate matter in their exhaust. Compressed Natural Gas and Diesel dual fuel operation is regarded as one of the best ways to control emissions from diesel engines and simultaneously saving petroleum based diesel fuel. Dual fuel engine is a conventional diesel engine which burn either gaseous fuel or d...

Combustion and Exhaust Emission Characteristics of Diesel Micro-Pilot Ignited Dual-Fuel Engine

Investigation ofthe Effects of Oxygenate and Nitrate Component Additives on Physico-Chemical Properties and Exhaust Emission of Diesel Fuel

This study evaluates the effect of additives on diesel and of additive-ethanol-diesel fuel blends on the density, viscosity, cetane number, flash point,boiling point, distillationand performance in engine tests. An additive is used to keep the blends homogenous and stable, and an ignition improver, which can enhance cetane number in ethanol-diesel fuel blends. The formulations were carried out ...
