Characterization of Several 2-Ethylhexyl Nitrates with Vegetable Oil (Castor or Sunflower Oil) Blends in Triple Blends with Diesel, Working as Advanced Biofuels in C.I. Diesel Engines

This study evaluates the performance of biofuels created from triple blends of fossil diesel, sunflower or castor oil (SVOs), and 2-Ethylhexyl Nitrate (EHN), a low-viscosity, high-cetane (LVHC) solvent. EHN reduces the viscosity of SVOs to enable their use in conventional diesel engines without comp...
