Influence of PODE1 additive into ethanol-gasoline blends (E10) on fuel properties and phase stability

Polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers (PODEn, n = 1–8) as an oxygenated fuel are a promising alternative fuel with a high oxygen concentration, a low C:H ratio, and no C–C bonds in their chemical structure. This could lead to smoke-free combustion. In this study, we chose to focus on PODE1 because of its...
