Numerical investigation on performance and emission characteristics of a diesel engine fired with methanol blended diesel fuel / Gurkamal Nain Singh...[et al.]

The effects of methanol and oleic acid blended diesel fuel on the performance and emissions of the diesel engine are evaluated numerically by commercial software Diesel-RK to simulate a single cylinder, naturally aspirated, direct injection, four-stroke diesel engine. The present study also resolves...
