Clean combustion of n-butanol as a next generation biofuel for diesel engines
Abstract
This work investigates the applicability of n-butanol as a next generation biofuel to replace diesel in compression ignition engines for efficient operation, pollutant mitigation, and CO2 reduction. A high compression ratio (18.2:1) diesel research engine is configured to run on neat n-butanol. Due to the fuel property departure from diesel, n-butanol combustion exhibits striking combustion characteristics. Alternative combustion strategies, …
