Highlights-Optimised diesel injection timings were identified for efficient dual-fuel combustion.-A pre-injection of diesel prior to the main injection was essential to reduce PRR.-High ethanol energy fractions effectively lowered NOx emissions.-EGR further reduced NOx emissions with negligible impact on the engine efficiency.-Operational cost savings can be achieved and are heavily dependent on fuel prices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
