Combustion characteristics, performance and emissions from a diesel power generator fuelled by B7-ethanol blends
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of fuel blends containing 5, 10 and 15 wt.% of anhydrous ethanol in diesel oil with 7% of biodiesel (B7) on performance, emissions and combustion characteristics of a diesel power generator are investigated.

Evaporation of single droplets of ethanol–fuel oil mixtures
TL;DR: In this paper, a model for the evaporation of droplets of pure and denatured ethanol with No. 2 fuel oil is presented, which uses continuous thermodynamics to describe the fuel oil fraction.

Miscibility of ethanol in diesel fuels
K. R. Gerdes,Galen J. Suppes +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the phase behavior of ethanol in diesel fuel has been studied and a transition in phase behavior from gasoline, where phase behavior problems are consistently avoided, to US-2D diesel fuel, with phase behavior is considered a barrier to implementation.
