Effect of Fuel Additives on the Performance and Emissions of an Internal Combustion Engine

Internal combustion engines fuel additives producers claim that with the addition of some additives to diesel fuel, an engine can function better in terms of performance and efficiency and decrease the emissions due to the combustion process as well. The diesel engine thermal efficiency ranges fr...
