Table 1 Combustion and emission characteristics of CI engines driven by n-decanol/diesel/biodiesel combinations.
Engine | Base fuel | Running situations | Alcohol kind | M100 Fractions | Performance findings | Combustion findings | Emission findings | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
One Cylinder, 661 cc | Diesel/biodiesel | Fixed speed with differing loads | n-Decanol | 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 and 40% vol | Augmented BTE | Augmented p, HRR and ID | Dropped NOx, UHC, CO and soot | |
One Cylinder, 661 cc | Diesel/biodiesel | Fixed speed with differing loads | Hexanol and n-Decanol | 30 and 40% vol | Inflated BTE | Augmented p, HRR and ID | Dropped soot, NOx, UHC and CO | |
One Cylinder, 661 cc | Diesel/biodiesel | Fixed speed with differing loads | n-Decanol | 10% vol | Enlarged BTE, lowered BSFC | Augmented p, HRR and ID | Dropped soot, UHC, and CO; increased NOx, | |
One Cylinder, 661 cc | Diesel/biodiesel | Fixed speed with differing loads; varied injection timings with EGR | n-Decanol | 10, 20, and 30% vol | Enlarged BTE; lowered BSFC | Lowered p, HRR and ID | Dropped soot, UHC, and CO; increased NOx, |
