Advanced Automobile Engines for Fuel Economy, Low Emissions, and Multifuel Capability

Production and Characterization of Green gasoline Obtained by Thermal Catalytic Cracking of Crude Palm Oil (Elaeis guineensis, Jacq.) in a Pilot Plant

“…The application follows three strategies: the direct use on engines [5], the transesterification [6] and the cracking [7,11,12]. The process of cracking or pyrolysis is one of the most important processes on the oil refinery industry; the process is also useful on the production of biofuels obtained through biomass [8,11,12].…”

Effects of 2,5-dimethylfuran addition to diesel on soot nanostructures and reactivity

“…However, the loss of such catalysts to the environment poses health risks [7]. While research works are ongoing in the search of inexpensive catalysts for soot oxidation [8,9], and toward the physical modifications of the engines and their operating parameters to improve fuel-air mixing for soot reduction [10,11], it is equally important to work toward the development of fuel blends that could lead to lower pollutant emissions as compared to conventional transportation fuels with the current engine technologies.…”
