The Impact on Emissions When an Engine Is Run on Fuel with a High Heavy Alcohol Content
This research reviews the impact on emissions from the engine fueled with the fuel containing a large share of bio-components, in particular with 30% n-Butanol. The research was carried out using a diesel engine. It has been shown that it is possible to achieve a double positive ecological effect co...
