Effects of the addition of a high energy density fuel, adamantane to diesel on its cetane number, sooting propensity, and soot nanostructural properties

Soot particles, released during diesel combustion, adversely affect human health and the environment.Some studies suggest blending diesel with oxygenated fuels to reduce soot emissions, Outerwear though it also reduces fuel economy and may produce new pollutants such as aldehydes.Another method to reduce soot could be to increase its reactivity by
