"Production implementation of premixed low-temperature diesel combustion (LTC) is highly attractive because it can lead to low engine-out particulate matter (PM) and NOx emissions. It is important for LTC strategies to yield acceptable emissions while consuming commercially available fuel, whose properties vary substantially and which contains various additives," scientists in the United States report.
"The chemical reactions of 2-ethylhexyl nitrate (2-EHN), an additive used to increase the cetane number of a diesel fuel, show potential to increase the NOx emissions of a diesel engine. While 2-EHN has been widely shown to not affect the emissions of conventional ...
