Sezer, İsmet
Diethyl ether (DEE) can be used in diesel engines as a fuel or fuel additive. The review study was compiled from the findings of several studies in this area. The diverse techniques are employed to mitigate the detrimental pollutants emitted by diesel engines. The first approach to reducing emissions involves altering the fuel system and engine design to improve combustion, but this is an expensive and time–consuming process. The utilization of various exhaust gas devices, such as a particle filter and catalytic converter, is necessary for the second way. However, the engine performance could be negatively impacted by these tools. Additionally, these exhaust devices increases the vehicle and maintain costs. The use of different alternative fuels or fuel additives is the third way that reduces emissions while improving engine performance. The particulate matter (PM), smoke, and nitrogen oxides (NOx) are the main environmental pollutants released by diesel engines into the atmosphere. The decreasing PM and NOx emissions at the same time is practically very difficult. The majority of researches indicate that using alternative fuels, such as natural gas, biogas, and biodiesel, or blending additives with conventional or alternative fuels, is the best way to reduce emissions. However, the characteristics of the fuel have a significant influence on cycle variations, which have a significant impact on engine performance, fuel economy, and emissions. Therefore, it is very important that the results of studies on the impact of DEE on cyclic variation are evaluated together to practice applications and to guide future studies. As a result, the primary focus of this study is on the usage of DEE as a fuel or fuel additive with different diesel engine fuels. The aim of this review is to investigate, using the available knowledge in literature, how DEE affects cyclic variations.

Sezer, İsmet
Emissions from vehicles and other fuel combustion systems can alter the composition of the atmosphere and augment its capacity to absorb heat. These gases, which are effective at trapping heat, are known as greenhouse gases and include all gases found in vehicle emissions. Reducing the emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) has become an urgent necessity around the world, and many countries have imposed limits on their CO2 output. Using biofuels in automotive engines is an effective way of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The CO2 emissions emitted from the combustion of biofuels are absorbed as trees and plants grow. Biofuels can be used either as pure fuels or blended with conventional fuels. Most research has declared that the most effective way to reduce greenhouse emissions is the use of various biofuels. Therefore, it is essential to assess the outcomes of research regarding alternate fuels or fuel additives to determine their proper utilization. Using of diesel engines can also help reduce CO2 emissions as they emit less CO2 emissions than gasoline engines. This review study investigates the effects the using of dimethyl ether on CO2 emissions in diesel engines. The results showed that CO2 emissions decrease when using the pure DME and DME blends with diesel and LPG fuels due to the oxygen content and the lower carbon to hydrogen ratio of DME. The decrements in CO2 emissions for pure DME, diesel–DME blends and LPG–DME blend are about 5.2–18.3%, 3–41.6% and 10.6–16.4%, respectively.

The natural convection is numerically investigated in a roof of triangular cross section under constant heat flux with seven different values depending on daylight on the inclined wall, constant wall temperature on the bottom wall and adiabatic on the vertical wall boundary conditions. Continuity, momentum and energy equations are solved by using finite volume method for laminar, two-dimensional and steady-state regime. Streamlines, isotherms, local and mean Nusselt numbers are presented for AR=0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0 and Ra=10³, 10⁴, 10⁵, 10⁶. The amount of heat flux ranges from 163 W/m² to 808 W/m² depending on daylight and the Prandtl number is chosen as 0.7. It is found out that the aspect ratio and Rayleigh number highly affect the heat transfer on the bottom and inclined walls while heat flux slightly affects.
