“…In particular, this search is highly significant in terms of the internal combustion engine (ICE) for approximately 60% of fossil fuels are consumed by transportation. According to current research, biofuels, such as ethanol [3,4], methanol [5,6], biodiesel [7,8], and n-butanol [9,10], have shown great potential to meet these challenges.…”

Experiments were carried out in a direct injection compression ignition engine fueled with diesel-dimethylfuran blends. The combustion and emission performances of diesel-dimethylfuran blends were investigated under various loads ranging from 0.13 to 1.13 MPa brake mean effective pressure, and a constant speed of 1800 rpm. Results indicate that diesel-dimethylfuran blends have different combustion performance and produce longer ignition delay and shorter combustion duration compared with pure diesel. Moreover, a slight increase of brake specific fuel consumption and brake thermal efficiency occurs when a Diesel engine operates with blended fuels, rather than diesel fuel. Diesel-dimethylfuran blends could lead to higher NO x emissions at medium and high engine loads. However, there is a significant reduction in soot emission when engines are fueled with dieseldimethylfuran blends. Soot emissions under each operating conditions are similar and close to zero except for D40 at 0.13 MPa brake mean effective pressure. The total number and mean geometric diameter of emitted particles from dieseldimethylfuran blends are lower than pure diesel. The tested fuels exhibit no significant difference in either CO or HC emissions at medium and high engine loads. Nevertheless, diesel fuel produces the lowest CO emission and higher HC emission at low loads of 0.13 to 0.38 MPa brake mean effective pressure.

“…With the increase of the amount of alcohol in Diesel fuel mixture, there is an increase in both the ignition delay and the rate of initial heat release, premixed combustion, while there is a decrease in the diffusion combustion, the total combustion duration and the combustion temperature. 4 The increase of the alcohol percentage in Diesel mixtures also improves volatility and viscosity at low temperatures of blend. 5 1-Butanol is also one of the primary alcohols, which has more advantages than ethanol and methanol as an alternative fuel.…”

“…The present study explores the possibility of using hexanol as a blend component with neat diesel by up to 20% by volume. Blending of oxygenated alcohols like hexanol with biodiesel will populate fuel-rich regions with hydroxyl group radicals that can catalyze unsaturated HC (hydrocarbon) species to be oxidized rather than participate in soot growth reactions (Murcak et al 2015;Park et al 2011).…”

In this study, the effect of doping hexanol into biodiesel which is from neat cashew nut shell biodiesel oil on the emissions and the performance characteristics was studied in a constant speed diesel engine. The main purpose of this work is to reduce various emissions and also to improve the performance of the diesel engine when fueled with blends of hexanol and neat cashew nut shell biodiesel. Cashew nut shell oil is not edible, and hence it can be used as a viable alternative to diesel. Cashew nut shell biodiesel is prepared by conventional transesterification. Hexanol with 99.2% purity was employed as an oxygenated additive. Experimental studies were conducted by fueling diesel as a baseline and by fueling hexanol and neat cashew nut shell biodiesel mixture. A fuel comprising 10% (by volume) of hexanol and 90% (by volume) neat cashew nut shell biodiesel was referred to as CNSBD900H100 and fuel comprising 20% (by volume) of hexanol and 80% (by volume) of neat cashew nut shell biodiesel was referred to as CNSBD800H200. This study also investigated the possibility of using pure biofuel in an unmodified naturally aspirated diesel engine. The outcome of this study showed that adding hexanol at 10% and 20% (by volume) to cashew nut shell biodiesel results in a reduction in emissions. In addition, a significant improvement in brake thermal efficiency and reduction in brake-specific fuel consumptions were achieved. Hence, it could be concluded that hexanol could be a viable and promising additive for improving the drawbacks of biodiesel when it was used to fuel an unmodified diesel engine.
