Reduced Chemical Kinetic Mechanism for a Waste Cooking Oil Biodiesel/n-Pentanol Mixture for Internal Combustion Engine Simulation
TL;DR: With increasing pollution concerns and stringent emission regulations, it has become difficult to meet the emission standards with the use of a single fuel as discussed by the authors. Binary and ternary fuel mixtures are bei

Influence of the functional group of fuels on the construction of skeletal chemical mechanisms: A case study of 1-hexane, 1-hexene, and 1-hexanol
TL;DR: In this paper, a skeletal chemical mechanism of surrogate fuels is built by integrating the reaction class-based global sensitivity analysis and the decoupling methodology, and the influence of the functional group was specially considered in the construction of the chemical mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Autoignition of n-heptane and butanol isomers blends in a constant volume combustion chamber
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the autoignition characteristics of binary fuels of n-heptane, a typical surrogate of diesel fuel, and butanol isomers (n-butanol, i-Butanol, and s-Howeveranol) on a constant volume combustion chamber.

Environmental, economic, and energetic costs and benefits of biodiesel and ethanol biofuels
TL;DR: Transportation biofuels such as synfuel hydrocarbons or cellulosic ethanol, if produced from low-input biomass grown on agriculturally marginal land or from waste biomass, could provide much greater supplies and environmental benefits than food-basedBiofuels.
