The Use of Emulsion, Water Induction and EGR for Controlling Diesel Engine Emissions

This paper was initially presented at an SAE Fuel & Lubricant Conference. It was selected for inclusion in the Transactions. SAE Transactions represent only the best papers from many thousands published during the year. The technique was applied to biodiesel resulting in a paper presented at the clean air conference, Portugal, July 07 and resulted in invitation to produce a follow on journal paper.
