“…Moreover, increased alcohol additions resulted in increased BTE values as compared to other fuel blends, which include lower chain alcohols because of the calorific value variations between the two types of fuel. Because of more oxygen in the air, a nearly full combustion was achieved which has led to an increase in BTE when compared to blends with lower‐chain alcohols, as has been shown 40 …”

“…Because of more oxygen in the air, a nearly full combustion was achieved which has led to an increase in BTE when compared to blends with lower-chain alcohols, as has been shown. 40 A higher oxygen concentration, better heating capability, lower cetane number, and enhanced premixed alcohol-blend fuel ignition resulted in Blend G achieving the highest BTE of all the alcohol blends evaluated (Blend G had the highest BTE of all the alcohol blends tested). It has also been discovered that decreasing the percentage of ethanol results in a reduction in BTE.…”

The study includes the use of alcohols in conjunction with diesel as a binary fuel and biodiesel. In addition, this study was conducted on quaternary fuels (premium diesel, waste cooking biodiesel, n‐butanol, and bioethanol), including Fe3O4 (iron(III) oxide)‐doped reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanocomposite to reduce the use of fossil fuels, their cost, and energy demand. It includes 10% bioethanol, 5%–20% n‐butanol, 25 ppm Fe3O4‐doped rGO nanocomposite, and 20% and 100% waste cooking biodiesel, all of which have been tested in a diesel engine to ensure that they are suitable for use. The findings were compared to those obtained with premium diesel, ranging from 50% to 100% at full engine load conditions. In comparison to 100% premium diesel fuel, the fuel blend (Blend G) had 37.50% brake thermal efficiency and 0.46% (brake‐specific energy consumption), as well as lower rates of 316.2% carbon monoxide, 198.80% hydrocarbon, and 80.01% smoke with 28.10% higher oxides of nitrogen (NOx). Adding 20% n‐butanol to premium diesel, as well as waste cooking biodiesel, bioethanol, and Fe3O4‐doped rGO nanocomposite fuel blends, was used in this study to improve the performance of the diesel engine and reduce some of the NOx emissions. In the near future, these fuel blends may be a viable alternative combination for the diesel engine.

“…Other changes to diesel fuel chemistry are driven by the desire to incorporate renewable fuels as blending agents. These fuels have included biodiesel, renewable diesel, and even straight vegetable oils. − In these cases, the chemistry is dramatically different from the petroleum-derived diesel, even though the cetane numbers for these fuels closely match those of diesel. This change in composition has had significant impacts on the compatibility of the fuel system components, especially for elastomers.…”

Compatibility of Biologically Derivable Alcohols, Alkanes, Esters, Ketones, and an Ether as Diesel Blendstocks with Fuel System Elastomers

et al. 2021

The compatibility of 11 bioderivable diesel blendstocks with 17 elastomer materials common to fuel storage, dispensing, and delivery systems was evaluated though volume and hardness measurements. The blendstocks included two alcohols (1-octanol and 1-nonanol), two acid esters (methyl decanoate and hexyl hexanoate), tri(propylene glycol) methyl ether (TPM), butylcyclohexane, two ketones (2-nonanone and 2-pentanone), biodiesel, and renewable diesel. Each blendstock was blended with diesel in concentrations of 0, 10, 20, and 30 wt %. The elastomers included two fluorocarbons, six acrylonitrile butadiene rubbers (NBRs), and one each of fluorosilicone, neoprene, polyurethane, styrene butadiene rubber (SBR), hydrogenated acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (HNBR), a blend of NBR and PVC (OZO), epichlorohydrin/ethylene oxide (ECO), ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), and silicone. Specimens of each elastomer material were immersed in the test fuels for a period of 4 weeks and measured for volume and hardness. Afterward, they were dried at 60 °C for 20 h and remeasured. The results showed that the alkanes, esters, and alcohols were suitable with many of the elastomers. For some materials, such as neoprene, these blendstocks improved the compatibility compared to neat diesel. In contrast, the ketones and TPM produced unsuitable volume expansion (>30%) and softening in many of the elastomers including the high-performance fluoroelastomers. Analysis of the results showed that the swelling behavior is predominantly due to polarity of the elastomer and test fuels.

“…The use of biodiesel and its blends in diesel engines is increasing rapidly because of the emerging need of replacing fossil fuels as they will be depleted soon. Consumption of conventional fuels causes numerous air pollutants that affect human health and the environment [1][2][3][4]. Fossil fuel depletion has brought about an increase in attention directed to sustainable alternative fuels.…”
