One of the ways to reduce the negative impact of diesel engines on the natural environment is to reduce the smoke opacity and emissions of nitrogen oxides. For this purpose, suitably programmed fuel injection strategies and exhaust after-treatment systems can be used. Another way to reduce the toxicity of diesel exhaust is to use oxygenated fuels. This approach is particularly important, as it also allows a reduction of the use of fuels processed from crude oil. As a potential oxygen additive, 1-butanol can be used. Because of the work cycle of a diesel engine, it is particularly important to determine the self-ignition properties of diesel fuels with such alcohol additives. In this study, the self-ignition properties of 1-butanol−diesel fuel blends were investigated, with the 1-butanol percentage up to 25% by volume. The experiments were conducted in a constant-volume combustion chamber, enabling the determination of the impact of the fuel injection pressure (ranging from 80 to 140 MPa) and the air−fuel ratio (ranging from 35 to 95) on the ignition and combustion delay periods for the fuel samples. The maximum and average combustion chamber pressure rise rates were studied, and investigations of self-ignition properties were conducted at an ambient gas temperature of 650 °C. It was observed that with the increasing 1-butanol volume percentage, ignition and combustion delay increased linearly, and an increase in the fuel injection pressure and air−fuel ratio affected the length of these periods to different degrees. Regardless of the volume percentage of 1-butanol, the fuel injection pressure, unlike the air−fuel ratio, had only a slight effect on the maximum and average combustion chamber pressure rise rates.

“…The results showed that the use of water-containing ABE-biodiesel-diesel blends could simultaneously reduce PM and NO x by 4.30-30.7% and 10.9-63.1%, respectively [22]. In addition, the spray and combustion characteristics of ABE-diesel blends were studied in a constant volume chamber [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. A wide range of ratios of ABE (0 vol.%-80 vol.% referred to as D100-ABE80) blended with diesel were combusted under various ambient temperatures (800K-1200K) and ambient oxygen concentrations (11%-21%) [23][24][25][26][27].…”

“…The differences in spray and natural flame luminosity images between ABE, n-butanol and diesel showed that a longer "gap" between liquid spray and flame in ABE combustion, which provided more space and time for the droplets to evaporate and mix with the ambient air [28][29][30]. The impacts of acetone on the spray and combustion of ABE and diesel blends were investigated through the comparison between ABE fuels with different component volumetric ratios (A:B:E of 6:3:1; 3:6:1; 0:10:0) [31].…”

Bio-butanol is typically produced by acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation, however, the recovery of bio-butanol from the ABE mixture involves high costs and energy consumption.Hence it is of interest to study the intermediate fermentation product, i.e. ABE, as a potentially alternative fuel. In this study, an experimental investigation of the performance, combustion and emission characteristics of a port fuel-injection SI engine fueled with ABE-gasoline blends was carried out. By testing different ABE-gasoline blends with varying
