Analysis of particle size diameter (PSD), mass fraction burnt (MFB) and particulate number (PN) emissions in a diesel engine powered by diesel/biodiesel/n-amyl alcohol blends

Depletion of fossil fuel resources along with surge in pollution levels were jointly contributing to the era of quest for novel fuel source in recent years. For the past two decades, the research in engines were vividly focused on alternative fuels based on alcohol and various vegetable oil sources....
