Abstract
⺠Burning of droplets of diesel, biodiesel and ethanol were experimentally studied. ⺠Observed phenomena can be explained based on theory of droplet combustion. ⺠Addition of biodiesel to diesel substantially reduces soot formation. ⺠Castor biodiesel is more effective than methyl ester biodiesel in soot reduction. ⺠Addition of ethanol to diesel or biodiesel facilitates gasification.
