Abstract

The systematic addition of alcohol to the fuel and the incorporation of a catalyst on the surface of a Cooperative Fuel Research (CFR) diesel combustion chamber significantly suppressed soot formation. These effects were additive under the experimental conditions with 40–80 percent soot reduction observed.
