Diesel Engine Fuel and Fuel Emulsion Influence on Diesel Engine Performance and Emission

Abstract

The diesel engine’s superior energy conversion efficiency and cost-effective power source have made it a popular choice for a wide range of applications, including but not limited to agricultural machinery, transportation, and mining equipment. Diesel engines produce harmful emissions, including exhaust fumes that contain pollutants such as particulate matter and nitrogen oxides. These emissions are detrimental to the environment and public health, and as a result, strict standards are imposed to reduce them using modern technologies in diesel engine manufacturing, exhaust treatment systems improvement and fuel modifying technologies. This chapter reviewed the effect of wide verity of fuel in diesel engine performance and emission.
