Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fuel blending, the process of combining different fuels, impacts engine performance, environmental footprint, and cost efficiency. From conventional fossil fuels to emerging renewable alternatives, the landscape of fuel options continues to evolve, propelled by technological advancements, regulatory frameworks, and shifting consumer preferences.
Blended fuels, like ethanol–gasoline mixes, offer improved combustion, enhanced engine efficiency, and reduced emissions compared to their unblended counterparts. Fuel composition plays a critical role in determining performance and the overall operational costs.
By grasping the nuances of blended vs. unblended fuels, stakeholders can make informed decisions, ensuring a balance between performance and affordability in the fuel industry. Amidst the ongoing quest for cleaner, more efficient energy solutions, the debate between blended and unblended fuels is receiving increasing attention.
This Special Issue on “Combustion Characteristics and Emission Control of Blended Fuels” seeks high-quality works focusing on the latest advances in blended fuels studies. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Improving fuel properties by blending;
- Environmental concerns and promoting sustainability;
- Emission control by blending fuels;
- Combustion properties of blended fuels.
