Combustion of diesel/methanol blends in a compression ignited engine: Research into the effects of methanol/diesel blends on the performance and emissions of a diesel engine based on experiments and simulations

In the context of this thesis, the effect of various diesel-methanol blends in a diesel engine compared to conventional marine diesel oil is investigated by experiments and in-cylinder simulations. The main differences obtained between diesel and methanol are the lower heating value, heat of vaporization and cetane number. During the experiments...
