Abstract: An internal combustion engine for a motor vehicle may include at least one cylinder including a combustion chamber for combusting a fuel-air mixture introduced into the combustion chamber. The engine may also include at least one fuel injector and a fresh air feed. The engine may further include an exhaust gas discharge for discharging exhaust gas from the combustion chamber and an exhaust gas recirculation for recirculating the discharged exhaust gas into the combustion chamber. Additionally, the engine may include a heat exchanger arranged in the exhaust gas recirculation, the heat exchanger may include at least one first fluid path and at least one second fluid path. A knock number of the fuel may be increased when the fuel flows through the heat exchanger. The at least one second fluid path may fluidically communicate with the at least one fuel injector.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for upgrading blends of catalytic slurry oil and steam cracker tar to form fuel and/or fuel blending products. The steam cracker tar can optionally correspond to a fluxed steam cracker tar that includes steam cracker gas oil and/or another type of gas oil or other diluent. It has been unexpectedly discovered that blends of catalytic slurry oil and steam cracker tar can be hydroprocessed under fixed bed conditions while reducing or minimizing the amount of coke formation on the hydroprocessing catalyst and/or while reducing or minimizing plugging of the fixed bed, as would be conventionally expected during fixed bed processing of a feed containing a substantial portion of steam cracker tar. Additionally or alternately, it has been unexpectedly discovered that formation of coke fines within steam cracker tar can be reduced or minimized by blending steam cracker tar with catalytic slurry oil. This can facilitate fixed bed processing of the steam cracker tar, as after removal of particles the blend of catalytic slurry oil and steam cracker tar can maintain a reduced or minimized level of coke fines and/or other particles.

Abstract: Biomass (e.g., plant biomass, animal biomass, and municipal waste biomass) is processed to produce useful products, such as fuels. For example, systems can use feedstock materials, such as cellulosic and/or lignocellulosic materials and/or starchy materials, to produce ethanol and/or butanol, e.g., by fermentation.

Abstract: In various aspects, methods and apparatuses for liquid-liquid extraction are provided. In certain aspects, an emulsion can be formed by combining a feed stream, an extractant, and a surfactant. The feed stream comprises a plurality of distinct components including a first component to be removed therefrom. The feed stream may be selected from a group consisting of: a hydrocarbon feed stream and an azeotrope. Then, a portion of the first component is extracted from the feed stream (or emulsion) by contact with a superoleophobic and hygroscopic membrane filter that facilitates passage of the first component and extractant through the superoleophobic and hygroscopic membrane filter. A purified product is collected having the portion of the first component removed. Such methods are particularly useful for refining fuels and oils and separating azeotropes and other miscible component systems. Energy-efficient, continuous single unit operation apparatuses for conducting such separation techniques are also provided.
