The cold start performance of compression ignition engines at high altitudes is expected to
be improved by means of fuel design involving kerosene-like blended fuels. In this study, the …

The combustion characteristics of hydro-treated vegetable oil (HVO), tallow methyl ester
(TME), and their blends with ultra-low sulphur diesel (ULSD) have been investigated using a …

The cold start performance of a diesel engine has been receiving more attention as the
European Commission emission regulations directed to include cold start emissions in the …

ABSTRACTCold start performance of diesel engines is determined by engine design, fuel
type, fuel injection strategies, lubricant and ambient temperature conditions. Prevailing …

Diesel engines are the versatile power source and is widely used in passenger car and
commercial vehicle applications. Environmental temperature conditions, fuel quality, fuel …

Ambient temperature has significant impact on engine start ability and cold start emissions
from diesel engines. These cold start emissions are accounted for substantial amount of the …

The first several cycles determine the quality of an engine start. Low temperatures and
air/fuel ratio cause incomplete combustion of the fuel. This can lead to dramatic increases in …

Power density improvement is one the main techniques for engine thermal efficiency
promotion. For turbocharged Diesel engine, low compression ratio in normally adopted for …

This work investigated waste plastic pyrolysis oil (WPPO), 2-ethyl hexyl nitrate (EHN), and
ethanol as sources of renewable energy, blending conventional diesel (CD), WPPO, and …

Catalyst heating operation in compression-ignition engines is critical to ensure rapid light-off
of exhaust catalysts during cold-start. This is typically achieved by using late post injections …
