“…Microemulsions are especially suitable if the fuel stability and acceptability by the distribution system and final users is a top priority, since they are visually clear and thermodynamically stable (Lif et al 2010). However, they require higher surfactant content and consequently they have a cost effectiveness challenge, especially at high water content.…”

Emulsion fuel is an unconventional fuel for diesel engines, which can be used without modifications in the engine. The benefits of an emulsion fuel include lowering the emissions of nitrogen oxides (NO x ) and particulate matter (PM) which are harmful to health and cause diesel engines to suffer. This paper explains in detail the effect of water in the emulsion fuel on the emissions of NO x , PM, carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbon (HC), smoke and exhaust temperature. Experimental results from various researchers show a decrease in the NO x and PM emissions simultaneously. However, the results with the increasing water percentage in emulsion fuel are not consistent for HC and CO emissions. The water content in emulsion fuel affects the combustion and reduces the peak temperature in the combustion chamber. On the other hand, microexplosion phenomenon occurs and causes an increase in the volatility of diesel fuel which improves the combustion efficiency.

“…Microemulsion fuel could be formed spontaneously with low energy consumption and has very low interfacial tension [28]. It is a thermodynamically stable dispersion system which has less risk of phase separation upon storage compared to emulsion [29].…”

“…The necessity of reducing gas emissions and improving the performance of engines has increased the interest in microemulsified systems as alternative fuels (Castro Dantas et al, 2001b;Ochoterena et al, 2010;Lif et al, 2010;Dantas Neto et al, 2011).…”
