Effects of different water percentages in non-surfactant water-in-diesel emulsion fuel on the performance and exhaust emissions of a small-scale industrial burner

In a previous study, a device that combined two existing mixing methods to produce water-in-diesel emulsion fuel (W/D) without surfactant had been developed and tested on a small-scale engine by Ithnin et al. However, it is inapplicable for industrial burners with high fuel flow rate. Therefore, a d...
