Abstract: There are currently numerous efforts to create renewable fuels that have similar properties to conventional diesel fuels. One major future challenge is evaluating how these new fuels will function in older legacy diesel ...

Abstract: In an effort to understand the effects of injection system pressure on alternative fuel performance, a singlecylinder diesel engine was outfit with a modern common rail fuel injection system and piezoelectric injector. As ...

Abstract: A new hydroprocessed renewable diesel (HRD) fuel comprised both straight chain and branched alkane fuel components. In an effort to find a research surrogate for this fuel, single cylinder engine testing was performed with ...

Abstract: Energetic nanoparticles are promising fuel additives due to their high specific surface area, high energy content, and catalytic capability. Novel amorphous reactive mixed-metal nanopowders (RMNPs) containing Ti, Al, and ...

Abstract: A new hydroprocessed depolymerized cellulosic diesel (HDCD) fuel has been developed using a process which takes biomass feedstock (principally cellulosic wood) to produce a synthetic fuel that has nominally آ½ cycloparaffins ...

Abstract: A partially premixed combustion (PPC) approach was applied in a single cylinder diesel research engine in order to characterize engine power improvements. PPC is an alternative advanced combustion approach that generally ...

Abstract: A diesel engine electrical generator set (“gen-set”) was instrumented with in-cylinder indicating sensors as well as acoustic emission microphones near the engine. Air filter clogging was emulated by progressive restriction ...
