Improving performance of 2-methylfuran as alternative SI fuel using cooled EGR

Green Car Congress

In a paper in the journal Fuel , researchers at Tianjin University report on the use of cooled EGR to improve the overall performance of 2-methylfuran (MF) as an alternative fuel. This work further advances the knowledge of how to improve the overall performance of MF as an alternative fuel for internal combustion engines.

Split injection Miller cycle with boost decreases knock tendency and increases torque in downsized engine

Green Car Congress

In this context, many experimental and numerical investigations have been conducted to suppress the knock occurrence by adopting various methods such as exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), low compression ratio (CR), transforming the combustion chamber shape, alternative fuels, and delayed ignition timing (IT). —Wei et al.
