... for a passenger car under real-world running conditions. Specifically, the portable emission measurement system (PEMS) was used to evaluate the emission performance of 10 vol% ethanol in gasoline (E10), 15 vol% methanol in gasoline (M15), and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). The results showed considerable...

...Anupam Ghosh; R. V. Ravikrishna This study is motivated by the need to present a robust methodology for preparing stable methanol-in-diesel emulsions for use in compression ignition engines with the specific objective of maximizing the methanol content. Specifically, it involved exploring...

..., leading to cardiovascular issues. In this study, a detailed physical, chemical, and morphological characterization of the PM emitted by a production-grade SI engine fueled with different alcohol–gasoline blends (gasohols), namely GM10 (10% methanol blended with gasoline, v/v), GE10 (10% ethanol blended...

... ) and particulate matter (PM) compared with conventional compression ignition (CI) mode combustion engines. In this experimental study, effects of fuel injection pressure (FIP) of high reactivity fuel (HRF) and premixed ratio of low reactivity fuel (LRF) were evaluated on a diesel-methanol fueled RCCI mode...

...Akhilendra Pratap Singh; Nikhil Sharma; Vikram Kumar; Dev Prakash Satsangi; Avinash Kumar Agarwal Methanol fueled internal combustion (IC) engines have attracted significant attention due to their contributions in reducing environmental pollution and fossil fuel consumption. In this study, a single...

...A. Hasan; I. Dincer One of the main solutions to climate change is to harness energy from renewable and clean resources. A novel ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) system is proposed for the production of methanol; cooling and power is developed and energetically analyzed. In this proposed...

... at different engine speeds (1500, 2000, 2500, 3000 rpm), different fuel injection pressures (FIP: 40, 80, 120, 160 bars) and different test fuel blends namely 15% (v/v) butanol, ethanol, and methanol blended with gasoline, respectively (Bu15, E15, and M15) and baseline gasoline at a fixed (optimum) spark...

...Avinash Kumar Agarwal; Nikhil Sharma; Akhilendra Pratap Singh; Vikram Kumar; Dev Prakash Satsangi; Chetankumar Patel Miscibility of methanol in mineral diesel and stability of methanol–diesel blends are the main obstacles faced in the utilization of methanol in compression ignition engines...

... emission rates firstly decreased and then began to keep nearly constant from middle engine load. The HC emission rate of methanol/gasoline was stable around 40%, while it was little higher at about 50% for ethanol/gasoline blends. When the alcohol fraction was lower than 20%, the alcohol had ignorable...
