Although emulsions have found numerous and various applications in
chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries, emulsions of water in diesel fuel are
applicable alternative fuels for the existing diesel engines.
Water-in-diesel emulsion fuel can improve the combustion efficiency of a
diesel engine and reduce harmful exhaust emission, especially nitrogen oxides and
particulate matter.
In general, due to the lower heating values of water-in-diesel emulsion fuels,
torque and power produced by diesel engines fueled with emulsified fuels are lower
as compared to the neat diesel fuel.
The heterogeneous results regarding the use of water-in-diesel emulsions as
fuel for diesel engines suggest that more experimental work for optimizing the
emulsion formulation is recommended.
