A dual fuel combustion system developed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in collaboration with Caterpillar Inc. addresses the challenge of methanol ignition in diesel engines, with clear ...

Diesel engines are engineered around a very different combustion process than gasoline engines. Instead of relying on spark plugs to ignite fuel, diesel engines create combustion through intense ...

Oxymethylene ethers (OMEs) are a family of synthetic oxygenated compounds under investigation as alternatives or additives to conventional diesel in compression ignition engines. Their high oxygen ...

SAO PAULO, April 23 (Reuters) - Brazilian researchers at the Maua Institute of Technology will begin tests to investigate the viability of raising the blend of biodiesel in diesel to 20% in May, ...
