Mixing water into diesel fuel lowers emissions and boosts efficiency
- hmcamp 11mo agoIt’s brilliant to see this type of research coming out.
- tonetegeatinst 11mo ago3 major problems no matter what you do that can't be avoided. 1. Water will rust metal. Some allows resist corrosion but they cost more which increases cost and engineering complexity. 2. Water freezes at a higher temp than diesel.... Which means you need to worry about keeping the water warm enough it dosnt freeze or turn into a slushie. 3. Water varies based on location. I doubt this works for salt water but let's say we decided to add water to the combustion process....now you need to worry about hard vs soft water and how that wears down everything or impacts efficiency. Or do you need reverse osmosis or distilled water?
