Experimental analysis of late direct injection combustion mode in a compression-ignition engine fuelled with biodiesel/diesel blends

A compression ignition reciprocating internal combustion engine has been modified to allow operation with late direct injection of rapeseed biodiesel fuel blends. The purpose of these modifications is to reduce both the engine's carbon footprint and emission of nitrogen oxides and soot, without...
