“…Among these, the use of emulsions has been studied most extensively. For example, Valdmanis and Wulfhorst (1970), Greeves et al (1976), andMurayama (1978) demonstrated soot reduction; Cornet and Nero (1955) and Wang and Ni (1996) reported improved fuel efficiency and reduced exhaust temperature; and Murayama (1978), Wang and Ni (1996), Turner and Siegmund (1973), and Owens and Wright (1976) noted reduced NO x emissions.…”

“…Among these three methods, the use of emulsions appeared to offer some unique advantages. For example, Valdmanis and Wulfhorst [2] found that reduction in soot emission was .more effective with emulsions than water iniection into the air pathway. Greeves et al [3] and Murayama [4] also found that water-emulsification was more effective in soot reduction than direct water iniection under the same working conditions.…”

“…The conditions and the diameter of the dispersed liquid affect the strength of the microexplosion of W/O and O/W emulsions (Fu et al 2002). Valdmanis and Wulfhorst (1970) run W/O emulsion fuels in a conventional single-cylinder direct injection (DI) diesel engine. Emulsion fuels of 20 % by volume of water were investigated.…”

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.
