Experimental study on the effects of blending PODEn on performance, combustion and emission characteristics of heavy-duty diesel engines meeting China VI emission standard

Abstract To study the influence of diesel fuel blended with polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers (PODEn), a new alternative fuel with a high oxygen content and large cetane number, on the combustion characteristics, fuel economies, and emission characteristics of heavy-duty diesel engines that meet Chin...
