Biodiesel has the potential to significantly contribute to making transportation fuels more
sustainable. Due to the complexity and nonlinearity of processes for biodiesel production …

In recent years, the shortage of fossil oil resources and environmental pollution problems
have prompted people to look for new clean fuels to replace fossil diesel. Biodiesel has …

Biodiesel, in its neat or blended form with petrodiesel, is widely accepted alternative fuel for
diesel engines. Although biodiesel is presumably associated with lower CO 2, HC, and PMs …

Biofuels have grabbed the attention of engine researchers ever since the oil-crisis and
escalating costs of petro-chemicals cropped up in the׳ 70s. Ethanol and methanol were the …

Direct injection diesel engines are more popular in the automotive sector than spark ignition
(SI) engines due to its fuel lean operation. However, the demand of fossil fuel is rising day by …

Biodiesel fuel properties should be improved in order to be able to use such alternative fuels
at high mixing ratios in diesel engines. Higher alcohols such as propanol (C3), n-butanol …

Higher alcohols are important alternative fuel resources for use in internal combustion
engines promising positive economical and environmental outcomes. Moreover, higher …

Ever since the research community highlighted the emission and sustainability aspects of
pure diesel in the transportation sector, then began the search of next prospective fuel …

Sustainably produced biofuels, especially when they are derived from lignocellulosic
biomass, are being discussed intensively for future ground transportation. Traditionally …

In relative to traditional combustion, the reactivity-controlled compression ignition (RCCI)
technique using fuels with different reactivity has gained significant interest because of its …
