Effects of Diesel Hydrocarbon Components on Cetane Number and Engine Combustion and Emission Characteristics

Commercial diesel consists of hundreds of hydrocarbons such as alkanes, cycloalkanes, and aromatics. The components of the fuel’s composition are what determine its physical and ignition properties, and their variations affect engine performance. In this study, n-heptane, n-dodecane, tetralin, and d...
