Description

General description

Tri(propylene glycol) methyl ether is a promising oxygenating agent for diesel fuels. Bubble coalescence and post-rupture oscillation in tri(propylene glycol) methyl ether solutions using high-speed cinematography was studied.

Application

• Composition-explicit distillation curves of diesel fuel with glycol ether and glycol ester oxygenates: fuel analysis metrology to enable decreased particulate emissions.: This study by Smith, Ott, and Bruno explores the application of glycol ethers, including tri(propylene glycol) methyl ether, in diesel fuels. The research demonstrates how these oxygenates can decrease particulate emissions, providing a valuable insight into the environmental benefits and performance improvements of glycol ethers in fuel formulations (Smith et al., 2008).
