Ordered porous silicates of the type TUD-1 and zeolite beta possessing zirconium and
aluminium sites were evaluated as eco-friendly heterogeneous, multifunctional catalysts for …

Dimethyl ether is a gaseous fuel which can easily be liquefied under moderate pressures. Its
high reactivity makes it suitable for combustion in a compression ignition engine, and due to …

The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D1322 assesses the sooting
tendency of fuels using smoke points. Recently, the fuel uptake rate measurement with …

Di-n-butyl ether (DNBE) and n-octanol have very low sooting tendencies in diesel-like
combustion, as demonstrated in previous engine studies. This finding is not fully understood …

Quantitative spatially resolved measurements of temperature and species are lacking
particularly in the core of combusting diesel jets. Major problems are light attenuation and …

In order to reduce engine out CO2 emissions it is a main subject to find new alternative fuels
out of renewable sources. For this paper, several fuels were selected which can be …

Maintaining low NO x emissions over the operating range of diesel engines continues to be
a major issue. However, quantitative measurements of nitric oxide (NO) are lacking …

With increasing interest in new biofuel candidates, 1-octanol and di-n-butylether (DNBE)
were presented in recent studies. Although these molecular species are isomers, their …

The influence of two oxygenated tailor-made fuels on soot formation and oxidation in an
optical single cylinder research diesel engine has been studied. For the investigation a …

Butyl ethers are well known as fuel additives for gasoline fuels. Especially methyl tert‐butyl
ether (MTBE) and ethyl‐tert‐butyl ether (ETBE) have been used as fuel additives to increase …
