Due to the shortage of liquid hydrocarbon fuels for compression ignition engines, researchers have constantly been looking for alternative fuels. Recently, dim ethyl ether (DME) with its interesting properties, such as high cetane number and low exhaust emission has drawn a lot of interst as a suitable fuel for diesel engines. The main objective of this study was to assess the potentials and fe...

Alternative fuel usage is becoming a more and more prevalent topic of discussion and important research area for those who work in the energy field and perform research on energy topics. This interest is due to the dwindling supply and increasing cost of more traditional energy supplies, as well as environmental considerations. Bio-fuels have now become an important research area as they have t...

Increased energy demand and the concern about environment friendly technology, renewable bio-fuels are better alternative to petroleum products. In the present study linseed oil was used as alternative source for diesel engine fuel and the results were compared with baseline data of neat diesel. Performance parameters such as brake thermal efficiency (BTE) and brake specific fuel consumption (B...
