Impact of ignition promoting additives on the characteristics of a diesel engine powered by pine oil–diesel blend

Synthesis and utilization of catalytically cracked cashew nut shell liquid in a diesel engine

“…Evidently, the comparable calorific value of CC-CNSL stems from its unique composition and this has seemingly contributed to the enhancement in combustion process on the whole. Reports on decrease in fuel consumption for fuels having calorific value akin to that of diesel have been surfaced before [30,31], justifying the conclusion drawn from the current study using CC-CNSL in a diesel engine. process, which has had a positive impact on the combustion process.…”

Feasibility of using less viscous and lower cetane (LVLC) fuels in a diesel engine: A review

“…In their attempt, Taguchi method was invoked to optimize the engine operating parameters such as injection timing and injection pressure, and after the determination of optimum level of parameters, ANOVA was performed to verify the authenticity of blend composition over desired parameters. As an outcome of Taguchi method, blend composition of 40% eucalyptus oil with 2014 Vallinayagam et al [174] Pine oil diesel, injection pressure of 180 bar and injection timing of 291 BTDC has been transcribed as the optimum parameters for eucalyptus oil operation in a diesel engine. With the optimized parameters, engine experiments was carried out and from the results, it was found that 40% blend of eucalyptus oil with diesel showed 2.5% increase in BTE than diesel.…”

“…In another study, Vallinayagam et al [174] endeavored to improve the ignition and reduce NO X emission simultaneously without modifying the engine, given the engine after treatment system may prove bulky and costlier. Therefore, the ignition attribute of optimum blend, B50, was improved by the addition of two fuel additives viz IAN and DTBP at the proportion of 1.5% and the mixture was reported to be stirred well in an ultrasonic agitator.…”

Experimental investigation into the effect of magnetic fuel reforming on diesel combustion and emissions running on wheat germ and pine oil

“…The early occurrence of peak in-cylinder pressure for WGO with FIF compared to WGO is due to reduced ignition delay period owing to the quick dispersion of the ions, leading to improved combustion. In contrast, PO has a low cetane number which prolongs the ignition delay period, resulting in more profound premixed combustion and hence higher peak in-cylinder pressure due to greater air-fuel mixing [33]. The peak in-cylinder pressure for PO is 88.4 bar and occurs at 4 CAD ATDC.…”
