Experimental investigation of improving diesel combustion and engine performance by ethanol fumigation-heat release and flammability analysis

An experimental investigation on the influence of piston bowl geometry on RCCI performance and emissions in a heavy-duty engine

“…Moreover, an effective conversion of CO and HC emissions from RCCI at exhaust temperatures greater than 300 °C was proved with several diesel oxidation catalysts (DOC) [33]. Another strategy widely studied is the use of renewable oxygenated fuels, such as ethanol [34][35][36][37]. In all cases, E85 fuel increased CO and HC emissions while NOx and soot emission decreased simultaneously in most of the cases.…”

Assessment of a direct injection diesel engine fumigated with ethanol/water mixtures

“…Sahin et al [25] experimentally examined the effects of using ethanol fumigation on engine performance, smoke index K and NOx emission of a turbocharged indirect injection automotive diesel engine. Experimental results showed that ethanol fumigation can successfully improve engine performance and at the same time reduce smoke index K and NOx emission.…”

Experimental investigation of n-butanol/diesel fuel blends and n-butanol fumigation – Evaluation of engine performance, exhaust emissions, heat release and flammability analysis

“…In the relevant literature alcohol, especially ethanol and methanol blends and fumigation applications can be found [2,12,[14][15][16][17]. All those studies revealed promising results for exhaust emissions and engine performance parameters.…”
