Experimental study of n-butanol addition on performance and emissions with diesel low temperature combustion

Impact of higher n-butanol addition on combustion and performance of GDI engine in stoichiometric combustion

“…Investigation of n-butanol usage as the engine fuel has been conducted for some researchers. In diesel engines, especially, the research groups, represented by Yao et al [10,11], Liu et al [12,13], Rakopoulos et al [14,15], and the author [16,17] have investigated the characteristics of n-butanol blended with diesel combusted in diesel engines. On conventional port fuel injection (PFI) spark ignition (SI) engines, on the other hand, the majority of studies on n-butanol have been performed either as pure fuel or blend fuel due to its high octane number.…”

Experimental investigation of combustion, emissions and thermal balance of secondary butyl alcohol-gasoline blends in a spark ignition engine

“…Much of the current literature on butanol additive pays particular attention to n-butanol in both spark and compression ignition engines; see, e.g., [23,24,[26][27][28][29][30][31]33] and [34][35][36][37]39,44], respectively. Some researchers have also attempted to draw fine distinctions using different types of butanol isomers such as isobutanol-see, e.g., [20,32,[47][48][49][50][51][52]-and tert-butanol-see, e.g., [53].…”

“…Based on their studies n-butanol-diesel fuel blends shorten the combustion duration ranging between 10% and 90% of mass fraction burn point. Zhang [36] studied the effects on emission characteristics in a low-temperature compression ignition engine combustion system with 20% and 40% n-butanol addition by volume in diesel fuels. Their results showed that soot emissions were significantly reduced with 40% n-butanol blends in the diesel fuels, with nearly all the soot bump removed.…”

Effects of 2,5-dimethylfuran fuel properties coupling with EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) on combustion and emission characteristics in common-rail diesel engines

“…As we know, lower CN, higher latent heat of vaporization and auto-ignition temperature all can make the ID longer [16]. As shown in Fig.…”
