Acetone–Butanol–Ethanol (ABE), as an alternative for butanol, can be used either in neat form or in blends with fossil fuels. Yet the flame characteristics of ABE blending gasolines have not been reported to date. To explore the effects of ABE addition on the laminar flame speed of gasoline, the spherical propagating flames of ABE, gasoline (represented by toluene reference fuel, TRF), as well as...
Bio-butanol has been considered to be an important alternative fuel to reduce soot emissions from gasoline engines, and it has the potential to overcome the disadvantages brought by low-carbon alcohols. In this study, the effect of n-butanol addition on soot formation in gasoline laminar diffusion flame is investigated respectively under the same fuel flow and the same carbon flow. The soot volume...
ABE (Acetone–Butanol–Ethanol), the upstream product of bio-butanol, is considered as a promising alternative fuel for IC engine. Two-dimensional soot distribution and soot mass of spray combustion of ABE and diesel was measured by forward illumination light extinction (FILE) technology. The ambient temperature and oxygen concentration of injection was varied from 1200K to 900K and 21% to 11% to represent...
Alcohols, especially n-butanol, have received a lot of attention as potential fuels and have shown to be a possible alternative to pure gasoline. The main issue preventing butanol’s use in modern engines is its relatively high cost of production. ABE, the intermediate product in the ABE fermentation process for producing bio-butanol, is being studied as an alternative fuel because it not only preserves...
The diesel–methanol dual-fuel (DMDF) combustion mode is conducted on a six-cylinder, turbo-charged, inter-cooled diesel engine. In DMDF mode, methanol is injected into the intake pipe to premix methanol and air, and then ignited by the direct-injected diesel in cylinder. This study is aimed to investigate the effects of rapid burning characteristics on the vibration performance of the DMDF engine...
Acetone–Butanol–Ethanol (ABE), an intermediate product in the ABE fermentation process for producing bio-butanol, is considered a promising alternative fuel because it not only preserves the advantages of oxygenated fuels which present lower soot emissions compared to diesel, but also lowers the cost of fuel recovery for individual component during fermentation. The advantageous characteristics of...
