Soyoil-ethanol microemulsions as diesel fuel
1983
Goering, C.E. | Schwab, A.W. | Campion, R.M. | Pryde, E.H.
Hybrid fuels formed by microemulsifying aqueous ethanol in soyabean oil, were evaluated by burning them in a diesel engine. No. 2 diesel fuel was also burned to provide baseline data. The hybrid fuels performed nearly as well as No. 2 diesel despite having lower cetane numbers and less energy content. At present, the hybrid fuels are more expensive than No. 2 diesel fuel and their effect on engine durability is unknown.
