Abstract:
... High volatility in fuel prices, energy security issues, and concerns about rising emissions have always driven researchers to search for renewable alternative fuels. Therefore, researchers have agreed on the idea that biodiesel fuels obtained from the various feedstocks have been the best alternative to conventional fuels. Accordingly, in the present research, the chicken oil biodiesel is first pr ...

Abstract:
... Premixed Charge Compression Ignition (PCCI) is one of the well-known ways to achieve low NOx and Soot emissions in Internal Combustion engines. However, this strategy has shown limited scope to bring down the Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Hydrocarbons (HC) emissions. To overcome this drawback, a novel attempt had been made to use oxy hydrogen gas as fuel additive in the PCCI engine. The conventional CI ...

We find that biodiesel fuel type injection with low fuel temperature induces more air entrainment volume to the boundary of the spray than diesel fuel injection and higher fuel temperature. Meanwhile, the normalized parcel density for biodiesel is 12 ...

Abstract:
... The use of renewable methanol partly substituting diesel fuel can support the transition to low-carbon engines, in the form of diesel/methanol dual-fuel combustion. Particulate filters are still required for diesel/methanol dual-fuel combustion engines to meet the emission standard. Their periodical regeneration depends on the soot oxidation reactivity and nanostructure. We therefore assessed the ...
