Comparative analyses of diesel–waste oil biodiesel and propanol, n-butanol or 1-pentanol blends in a diesel engine

Higher alcohols are important alternative fuel resources for use in internal combustion engines promising positive economical and environmental outcomes. Moreover, higher alcohols are advantageous over lower alcohols due to their better blending capabilities, hydrophobic properties, higher cetane numbers and calorific value. The aim of this work is to investigate and compare the basic fuel properties of the ternary blends of diesel (D), waste...
