Abstract

Pentanol and Hexanol are two excellent biofuels that could be derived from lignocellulosic biomass feedstock without disturbing food-based sources. The present study utilizes these two alcohols as blend constituents with diesel by up to 30% by vol. (designated as Pen30 and Hex30) in a DI diesel engi...
