“…Even though it is thought that exhaust gas treatment processes may decrease NOx and PM emissions in more significant quantities, installing these technologies will be expensive due to the investment and maintenance costs [53], [80]. Some methods could be used to improve fuel-air mixing and diffuse combustion diesel engines to minimize the formation of NOx and PM such as increasing fuel injection pressure to control fuel pressure at the fuel injector to achieve optimal performance and reduce fuel consumption [81], using gaseous fuels [82], using fuel additives [83], [84].…”

Environmental pollution from transportation means and natural resource degradation are the top concern globally. According to statistics, NOx and PM emissions from vehicles account for 70% of total emissions in urban areas. Therefore, finding solutions to reduce NOx and PM emissions is necessary. Changing the engine's internal combustion method is considered promising and influential among the known solutions. One of the research directions is a combustion engine using the Premixed Charge Compression Ignition (PCCI) method combined with biofuels to improve the mixture formation and combustion process, reducing NOx and PM emissions. Therefore, this study presents the mechanism of the formation of PM and NOx emissions in the traditional combustion and the low-temperature combustion process of internal combustion engines. Besides, the theoretical basis of flame spread during combustion is also introduced. The key feature of this research is that it has modeled the combustion process in diesel engines under the PCCI modes. This was accomplished using blends of waste cooking oil (WCO)-based biodiesel and diesel fuel, as well as the ANSYS Fluent software. The results showed that PCCI combustion using B20 fuel can significantly reduce NOx and PM emissions, although HC and CO emissions tend to increase, and thermal efficiency tends to decrease. In further studies, different modes of the PCCI combustion process should be thoroughly examined so that this process can be implemented in practice to reduce pollutant emissions.

This study investigated the effects of methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) on a diesel engine’s energy, exergy and emissions. The evaporation of a bi-component droplet of MEK and heptane was modeled. Furthermore, the soot morphology and nanostructure were quantified. Different blends were examined at other engine conditions. Running the engine under idle conditions and optimum speed considerably reduced engine emissions. MEK noticeably decreased the maximum reachable load of the diesel engine. Both specific fuel consumption and thermal efficiency increased with MEK. The exergetic efficiency increased while the fuel exergy decreased at the same work exergy. The effects of MEK on combustion characteristics were insignificant. However, a stronger premixed combustion phase was obtained where MEK evaporated first and caused a slightly longer droplet lifetime. Low percentages of MEK reduced CO emissions, while NOx emissions increased consistently with the MEK addition. The engine conditions noticeably influenced the unburned hydrocarbon emissions with MEK. Both smoke opacity and primary particle diameter decreased. The fringe analysis emphasized that MEK decreased fringe length, soot intensity, and alignment, increasing fringe tortuosity and spacing. Clearly, methyl ethyl ketone suppressed soot formation in a diesel engine and decreased its reactivity. Graphical abstract
