Biomass derived fuels are preferred as alternative Fuels for IC engine due to its abundant availability and renewable nature. In the present work, the performance and emissions of diesel and diesel additive blended with palm kernel oil is studied, where the fuel, namely, methyl ester of palm kernel oil and diesel with additive were chosen and used as fuel in the form of blends. Various proporti...

in this paper, the performance of a natural gas hcci engine is studied through a thermodynamic model including detailed chemical kinetics. it is shown that as hydroxyl radical has important effects on natural gas combustion, it is possible to quantify soc with hydroxyl concentration variations. meanwhile the influence of using formaldehyde as an additive on the engine characteristics has been i...

Nano-additives blended water-diesel emulsion fuel is the alternative fuel for compression ignition (CI) engine that reduce the NOx emission and at the same time increase the brake thermal efficiency due to combined effect of nanoparticles and micro explosion phenomenon of water diesel emulsion. This review paper addresses emulsion, emulsion types, micro-explosion phenomenon of water-diesel emul...

Pyrolysis/supersonic jet expansion/118.2 nm photoionization TOF mass spectrometry is used to examine competitive thermal dissociations of a deuterated analogue of the title compound, a potential antiknock additive for motor fuel. At high temperatures neutral (CH3)3CC(CD3)2OCH3 (
