Currently, n-butanol is a promising oxygenate (potentially of renewable origin) to be used in blends with conventional diesel fuel in compression ignition engines. However, its poor ignition quality can drastically deteriorate the cetane number (CN)...

One promising oxygenate additive being considered as a fuel component for diesel engines is 1-butanol. However, since 1-butanol is characterized, like many other alcohols, by poor autoignition properties and, consequently, a low cetane number, the in...

This study evaluates the performance of biofuels created from triple blends of fossil diesel, sunflower or castor oil (SVOs), and 2-Ethylhexyl Nitrate (EHN), a low-viscosity, high-cetane (LVHC) solvent. EHN reduces the viscosity of SVOs to enable the...

2-Methylfuran (2-MF) has emerged as a promising renewable alternative fuel, primarily due to its sustainable production processes and its potential to significantly reduce soot emissions. However, when blended with diesel, it presents challenges, inc...

Biodiesel and 2-methylfuran (MF) exhibit significant potential as alternative fuels due to advancements in their production techniques. Despite this potential, the low cetane number (CN) of biodiesel–MF (BMF) blends limits their practical use i...

Plastics are widely used and are part of modern life. Recycling of plastic waste can be achieved by pyrolysis. Conventional pyrolysis of plastic waste takes place at temperatures higher than 450 °C, because the oil yield is higher. In this study,...

This paper summarizes a study based on a modified, light, single-cylinder diesel engine and the effects of the physicochemical properties for n-butanol-diesel blended fuel on the combustion process and hydrocarbon (HC) emissions in the intake at a me...
