Thermodynamic study in a diesel engine using karanja biodiesel-diethyl ether-producer gas

Performance and engine exhaust study of a CI engine in dual fuel mode using diethyl ether as cetane enhancer additive

“…Emissions from traditional fossil fuel consumption are causing serious problems in terms of global warming and climate change. Fossil fuels were generally predicted to get exhausted very soon, owing to the rapid consumption [2]. Diesel engines are considered as the prime mover in most of the areas such as agriculture, transportation, and construction sectors and it emits particulate matter, carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), oxides of nitrogen (NO x ), and other hazardous gases.…”

“…It was reported that oxygenated fuel additives when mixed with fossil fuels helps to lower the soot formation [12]. The utilization of renewable biomassderived gaseous fuel in conjunction with liquid pilot fuel, operating in a dual fuel (DF) mode, can be considered as a promising solution to address the energy crisis [2]. DF mode run provides interoperability in operational mode based on the need for gaseous fuels to replace conventional diesel consumption.…”
