This experimental research investigates the effects of variable O<inf>2</inf> concentrations and injection pressures on the combustion and emissions characteristics of the diesel (B7) and the hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO)-based fuels. The O<inf>2</inf> concentrations included 21%, 15% and 10% O<inf>2</inf>, while the injection pressures were 80 and 120 MPa. The experimental fuels were the diesel fuel (B7), the neat HVO, the 20%, 50% and 80% HVO (by mass fraction) blended with the diesel. The experiments were carried out in a rapid compression-expansion machine (RCEM) under the direct injection (DI) diesel combustion condition. The analysis was undertaken using the two-color method. The experimental results indicated that the ignition delay, the heat release rate, the flame temperature, the soot density-KL factor, the NO<inf>x</inf> and soot-out emissions were inversely correlated to the HVO fraction in the blend. In addition, the findings revealed the similar flame profiles in which the higher flame temperature region and the darker KL density were concentrated around the spray flame upstream, regardless of the HVO mixing ratio. Besides, the decrease in the O<inf>2</inf> concentration resulted in the lower heat release rate, integral heat release, flame temperature, KL factor and NO<inf>x</inf> emissions but the longer ignition delay and higher soot concentration, with the highest soot concentration observed under the 15% O<inf>2</inf> environment. Nevertheless, the higher pressure differential (i.e. between the injection pressure and the ambient pressure) contributed to the shorter ignition delay, higher heat release rate, early peak of the flame temperature, wider combustion area, faster soot oxidation rate and higher NO<inf>x</inf> production.

The investigation of physicochemical characteristics of metal oxide ashes, deposited on a diesel particulate filter, was conducted using electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, X-Ray fluorescence, and X-Ray diffractometry techniques. Iron is the main component of deposited ash on the DPF, and other ash components consisted of elements such as silicon, calcium, copper, sulfur, phosphorus, zinc, aluminum and minor chromium. It was clarified that this metal oxide ash has catalytic effect that contributed to an enhancement of soot oxidation. The apparent activation energies of soot oxidation on SiC powder and metal oxide ashes powder are approximately 169 and 135 kJ/mol, respectively.

This research attempts to characterize the injection of palm biodiesel blended with diesel in a Zuech’s chamber. Thailand conventional diesel (mandated blend of biodiesel at 5 % or B5), palm biodiesel (B100) and four other biodiesel blends ratios (B20, B40, B60 and B80) were investigated with single hole injector of 140 and 200 μm diameters, injection pressure of 40 MPa to 160 MPa, constant back pressure of 4.5 MPa and energize time of 2.5 ms. The results show that increasing biodiesel blending ratios leads to longer injection delay, larger injection pressure drop, smaller injection quantity discharge coefficient (C<inf>d</inf>) and shorter injection duration. With increasing biodiesel blending ratio, high Cavitation number from biodiesel viscosity decreases Reynolds number. Increasing injector diameter from 140 μm to 200 μm has reduced injection delay, increased fuel injection quantity, discharge coefficient and remaining injection duration. The increasing of injection pressure were improve, injection delay, injection duration, injection quantity and discharge coefficient until injection pressure 120 MPa. In addition at injection pressure over 120 MPa are decrease injection quantity and discharge coefficient, it effect form the cavitation phenomena. Increasing of viscosity, density, Bulk modulus and sound velocity were effect to increase injection delay, with reduce injection quantity, injection duration and pressure drop during injection process.

Diesel Engines are widely known for a high compression ratio, which is proportional to the engine’s efficiency. The effect from direct injection of a diesel engine generates particulate matter (PM). PMs are mainly composed of Soot and Metallic Ash, which are harmful to human health. This research describes thermal efficiency, engine performance and combustion behavior at various load (20%, 50%, and 80%) and fuel (B7, B20, and B100) by using combustion pressure analyzer. The experimental results demonstrated that B100 has the highest ISFC and lowest ISEC for all test series owing to the highest indicated thermal efficiencies. Operating load and fuel are strongly proportional to heat release rate and ignition delay. The heat release rate of low load condition is retarded compare with medium and high load. Conventional diesel and biodiesel PMs were investigated by using Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The average size of ultrafine particles that obtained from the experiment are range of 50-500 nm and primary nanoparticle size of B7 and B100 are in range of 25-50 nm.

Particulate Matters (PMs) emitted from biomass combustion including open burning of biomass agricultural residues, and forest fires must be reduced to protect both human health and the environment. The physical characteristics of morphology, elemental composition and nanostructure of particulate matters generated from biomass combustion were successfully investigated by using electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis with Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was used to analyze the oxidation kinetics of particulate matters. Before biomass burning, it was found that about 65% of carbon fraction in biomass raw material while 95% of carbon fraction in soot and 84% in ash particles after burning. The average diameter size of single primary particles is approximately 36 nm. Nanostructure of the single primary particle of biomass soot is mainly composed of curve line carbon crystallites while metallic ash nanoparticle is composed of straight-line hatch patterns. The inter-planar spacing of fringes of biomass soot and ash crystallites is 0.36 nm and 0.28 nm, respectively. This article aims to study the different nanostructure of biomass forest leaves residual ash and soot such as agglomerated particles, primary particle's measurement using TEM image analysis.

Physical characteristics and quantitative elemental composition of PM and residual ash produced from sugarcane leaves (SCL) combustion were investigated using TEM-EDS compared with forest leaves (FRL). SEM-EDS was used to analyze the microstructure and chemical composition of biomass raw leaves and PM. XRD analysis was also performed to investigate the characterization of the crystalline nanostructure, structure of PM, and residual ash compared to the TEM image processing method. The oxidation kinetics of biomass raw materials, PM, and residual ash were investigated by TGA. The morphology of fine and ultrafine agglomerate structure of SCL soot and residual ash are not significantly different from the FRL soot and residual ash. The average diameter sizes of single primary nanoparticles of SCL and FRL soot are approximately 37 nm and 35 nm, while the sizes of residual ash are about 18 nm and 22 nm, respectively. The single primary nanoparticles of soot are mainly composed of curve line crystallites of carbon fringes, while residual ash is composed of straight-line lattice fringes. The average fringe lengths of SCL and FRL soot are about 1.25 nm and 1.04 nm from the outer shell and 0.89 nm and 0.74 nm from the inner core. The interlayer spacing of curve line carbon fringes of SCL and FRL soot is approximately 0.359 nm and 0.362 nm by the TEM image analysis and it was matched with XRD analysis. The biomass PMs are mainly composed of soot, Si, Ca, and K compounds: SiO<inf>2</inf>, CaCO<inf>3</inf>, and KCl.

This paper investigates the oxidation kinetics of carbon black on acicular mullite using thermogravimetric (TGA) and mullite microstructures by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for the development of diesel particulate filters (DPFs). It is observed that the amount of each chemical composition strongly affects the structure of mullite. The addition of AlF<inf>3</inf> and V<inf>2</inf>O<inf>5</inf> to mullite promotes the growth of needle-shaped mullite crystals. Thermogravimetric analysis was used to investigate and characterize chemical kinetics of soot oxidation for better understanding of designs and configurations of diesel particulate filters. The mass conversion of soot on the acicular mullite (ACM) is oxidized faster than that on the mullite (ML) membrane at all temperatures examined. The calculation of apparent activation energy (E<inf>a</inf>) of soot oxidation with isothermal methods on mullite was presented. The results showed that activation energy of soot oxidation is enhanced with ACM than with ML at all temperatures examined. The average calculated apparent activation energy of soot oxidation on ACM and ML are 146.4 kJ/mole and 155.3 kJ/mole, respectively.

Physicochemical characteristics of metal oxide ash derived from engine oil additives on particulate matter (PM) from a diesel direct injection compression ignition (DDI-CI) engine, in terms of nanostructure and oxidation kinetics, were investigated through electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and isothermal thermogravimetric analysis. Diesel and synthetic biodiesel were used as the baseline fuel. Engine performance and combustion characteristics of neat diesel and synthetic biodiesel fuel were initially reported. To enhance the formation of ash derived from lubricant additives, an accelerated ash loading method was used by dosing 10% by mass directly into the fuels. Different single primary particle nanostructures of soot and metal oxide ash were clearly observed. Single primary particle nanostructure of soot was a spherical shape composed of curve line carbon crystallites, while nanostructure of metal oxide ash was a spherically round outline shape comprised with parallel straight-line lattice fringes. Soot oxidation kinetics was significantly enhanced due to the presence of metal oxide ashes in the engine’s PM. In addition, the elemental analysis of metal oxide ash, derived from engine oil additives, was investigated using electron dispersive X-ray spectroscopy.

This study investigated the effects of blending weight ratio of 5% and 10% ethanol (B7E5 and B7E10) with standard B7-diesel on the performance, combustion, and emission characteristics of a light-duty common-rail diesel engine. The engine was tested on a dynamometer across various speeds (1600–2000 rpm) and loads (84 and 112 Nm) to analyze in-cylinder pressure, thermal efficiencies, and exhaust emissions. Results indicated significant emission benefits, especially at high loads. The B7E10 blend reduced smoke intensity by approximately 75% and carbon dioxide emissions by 34% compared to the baseline B7. The performance analysis revealed a critical trade-off associated with the ethanol blends: while the inherent oxygen content in ethanol significantly improved the indicated thermal efficiency (ITE) through enhanced combustion, its lower viscosity simultaneously led to increased frictional losses. Consequently, these competing effects resulted in only a modest improvement in brake thermal efficiency (BTE) and comparable brake-specific energy consumption (BSEC) compared to the baseline B7. The primary objective is to identify the benefits and trade-offs associated with ethanol blending in biodiesel-based diesel fuels that are compatible with existing diesel vehicles.

In current research, aluminium oxide and silicon dioxide are used as raw materials for fabricating main structures of mullite diesel particulate filters. The variable substances applied to develop acicular mullite structure are titanium dioxide, aluminium fluoride, and vanadium oxide. Carbon black was used to create pores in mullite diesel particulate filters with 35 to 45% porosity based on the sintering temperature of 1300°C. The images of the filter’s porous surface microstructure were investigated using scanning electron microscopy. Vanadium oxide and aluminium fluoride play important roles in growth of acicular shape and acicular size for membrane, respectively. Acicular size of membrane varies from a hundred nano-meters to the submicron in needle diameter. The relation of all factors between pore size, porosity, surface roughness, and pin-shape microstructure can be controlled by additional amounts of additives. From Raman spectroscopy analysis, the soot formation of carbon black’s micro and nanostructure are acceptable to simulate diesel soot particles. In line with these results, carbon black was successfully used as a substitute of real engine soot in soot kinetics reactivity. In addition, the oxidation kinetics of soot particles on mullite and acicular mullite membrane were investigated by using tight contact in isothermal and loose contact in non-isothermal thermo-gravimetric analysis. The calculated apparent activation energies of soot oxidation with isothermal technique on mullite and acicular mullite membrane are approximately 213 and 141 kJ/mol while those values calculated with non-isothermal technique are 118 and 76 kJ/mol, respectively.
