This work evaluates the potential of some new biomass-derived fuels as candidates for
compression ignition operation. Thus, fundamental spray characteristics related to fuel …

Alternative fuels have become of great importance in order to secure a sustainable mobility
within the next decades. Within the Cluster of Excellence,“Tailor-Made Fuels from Biomass” …

Within this paper, the two possible alternative and biomass-based fuel candidates Di-n-butyl
ether (DNBE) and 1-octanol are investigated with regard to their utilization in a diesel-type …

The simultaneous reduction of fuel consumption and pollutant emissions such as Nitrogen
oxides (NO x) and soot remains the primary goal of modern engine development. In this …

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 …

The development of most energy conversion systems is focused on increased efficiency and
decreased pollutant emissions. However, the diesel engine combustion process suffers from …

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

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 …

A low level of pollutant emissions was reached because of stepwise tightened emission
legislation, while it was possible to keep or to improve further the efficiency of the drive train …
