In the present study, the impact of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) rates, from 0% to 15%, and compression ratio (CR) of 8, 9, and 10 on the combustion characteristics and emission performance of 2-methylfuran (MF) and gasoline were studied. Experiments were carried out on a Ricardo E6 single-cylind...
