In this study, we perform experiments on a common-rail diesel engine to investigate the effect of diesel/n-butanol blends on particulate matter (PM) emission under pilot-main injection strategy. Three different blends (diesel, D80B20, D50B50) are compared under two distinct loads (∼30 %, ∼60 %) and...
