Alternative Fuels for CI Engines

Includes papers presented in the 'Alternative Fuels for CI Engines' sessions at the SAE 2001 World Congress.

These papers cover a wide range of work, from researchers throughout the world, on the performance and emissions from alternatively fueled compression ignition engines. CONTENTS INCLUDE: An Experimental Investigation on the Spray Characteristics of Dimethyl Ether(DME); Study on Lean Burn Gas Engine Using Pilot Oil as the Ignition Source; The Development of Gas (CNG, LPG and H2) Engines for Buses and Trucks and Their Emission and Cycle Variability Characteristics; The Studies of an Electronically Controlled CNG System for Dual Fuel Engines; Effects of Advanced Fuels on the Particulate and NOx Emissions from an Optimized Light-Duty CIDI Engine; Evaluation of Some Alternative Diesel Fuels for Low Emissions and Improved Fuel Economy; An Advanced Diesel Fuels Test Program; Overall Results: Phase I Ad Hoc Diesel Fuel Test Program; Reduction of NOx and PM from Diesel Engines by WPD Emulsified Fuel; Experimental Investigations on a Jatropha Oil Methanol Dual Fuel Engine; Thermochemical Characteristics of Dimethyl Ether - An Alternative Fuel for Compression-Ignition Engines; Effects of Alternative Fuels and Intake Port Geometry on HSDI Diesel Engine Performance and Emissions; Effects of Oxygenated Fuels on DI Diesel Combustion and Emissions; Reduction of NOx and Smoke Emissions in a Diesel Engine Fueled by Biodiesel Emulsion Combined with EGR; The Emissions Performance of Oxygenated Diesel Fuels in a Prototype DI Diesel Engine; Comparison of Heat Release and NOx Formation in a DI Diesel Engine Running on DME and Diesel Fuel; Development of a Liquid-DME Fuel Tank - A Two-Fluid Thermodynamic Pump.
