“…DMF is a heterocyclic compound of furan with a molecular formula of C 6 [57] Rothamer and Jennings also tested DMF-blended petrol for engine knocking and confirmed positive results of DMF-blended petrol over the unblended analogue [58]. DMF can be obtained from HMF via different hydrogenation routes in which BHMF, FMF, MF and MFA are proposed intermediates (Scheme 9).…”

“…The reduction of unburnt hydrocarbon (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), soot as well as higher engine performance and lower specific fuel consumption for DMF compared to gasoline and bioethanol were found [20]. The increase in lubricity and the reduction of friction for DMF compared to gasoline and ethanol were indicated by [21] [22].…”

The use of endless biomass sources form agricultural by-products for the renewable fuel synthesis has been being considered as the extremely useful works meeting the strict strategies of environment protection. In this work, 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF) synthesized from available rice straw in Vietnam was mixing with fossil gasoline RON95 to determine and measure the key properties of DMF-gasoline RON95 blends based on corresponding ASTM standards in the consideration as a new alternative fuel for modern gasoline engines. Each 5% volume fraction of DMF was used for mixing purposes to create 21 samples with the change of DMF volume fractions from 0% to 100%. As a result, the linearization of density, octane number, and latent heat of vaporization was conducted; meanwhile, the stoichiometric air/fuel ratio, heating value, and self-ignition temperature of DMF-gasoline RON95 blends were also reported. This work provided the full properties of blends of DMF-gasoline RON95 blends based on experimental results. Achieved results can be used for the next steps to investigate the applicability of DMF-gasoline RON95 blends to practical experiments or simulation studies.

“…Hu et al (Hu et al, 2012) assessed the lubricity properties of DMF using a MQ-800 four-ball tribometer, and they found that DMF had a better wear resistance than gasoline. The spray characteristics of DMF, including spray angle and penetration length, were similar to those of gasoline (Tian et al, 2010a).…”

An investigation of hydrocarbon (HC) and aldehyde emissions from the combustion of 2-methylfuran (MF) was conducted, with samples taken from the exhaust of a single cylinder direct-injection spark ignition (SI) research engine. This paper validates the mechanism of MF combustion, and assesses its toxic emissions. Aldehyde emissions from MF were quantitatively measured using high performance liquid chromatography, and the results were compared with those of gasoline, 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF), ethanol, methanol, and n-butanol. The detected aldehydes were mainly formaldehyde and acetaldehyde. Reaction pathway analyses of the combustion of MF and DMF were performed using a closed homogeneous constant volume reactor model in the Chemkin package. The formaldehyde emission was related to the side chain of MF. It was only half that of DMF and it was much lower than those of other fuels. The acetaldehyde emission from MF was also one of the lowest among all tested fuels. HCs from MF A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t 2 2 combustion were qualitatively investigated using gas chromatography mass spectrometry. The exhaust spectrum detected signals from propylene, benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, xylenes, carbonyl compounds, and furan series derivatives (furan, DMF, and furfural).
