U. Mich, Ford team studies effect of ethanol in reducing PM from DISI engines; insights into fueling strategies to reduce soot

Green Car Congress

Further understanding and characterization of the underlying physical and chemical mechanisms of PM formation in DI combustion systems is critical to achieving clean emissions. Lower combustion temperatures and a lower boiling point compared with gasoline result in lower NO x and unburned hydrocarbon (UHC) emissions.
