Understanding Trends in Autoignition of Biofuels: Homologous Series of Oxygenated C5 Molecules.
Lintao Bu,Peter N. Ciesielski,David J. Robichaud,Seonah Kim,Robert L. McCormick,Thomas D. Foust,Mark R. Nimlos +6 more
TL;DR: Quant mechanical modeling is used to systematically compare the effects of oxygen functionalities on these PESs and associated kinetics so as to understand how they affect experimental trends in autoignition and CN for common biofuel functional groups.

Effect of isopropanol and n-pentanol addition in diesel on the combustion and emission of a common rail diesel engine under pilot plus main injection strategy
TL;DR: In this article, isopropanol and n-pentanol are blended in diesel with 20% ratio by volume, named D80IP20 and D80NP20, and their combustion and emission performances were compared with diesel on a four cylinder common rail diesel engine under pilot plus main injection strategy.

Experimental study on the application of bioethanol in dual-fuel intelligent charge compression ignition (ICCI) engine
TL;DR: In this paper, the combustion and emission characteristics of bioethanol-diesel in intelligent charge compression ignition (ICCI) combustion mode at various bio-ethanol substitute ratios and injection strategies were evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progress in the Use of Biobutanol Blends in Diesel Engines
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that lignocellulosic biobutanol can achieve 60% lower greenhouse gas emissions than diesel fuel compared to conventional diesel fuel.

Mechanism and modeling of nitrogen chemistry in combustion
James A. Miller,Craig T. Bowman +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the mechanisms and rate parameters for the gas-phase reactions of nitrogen compounds that are applicable to combustion-generated air pollution are discussed and illustrated by comparison of results from detailed kinetics calculations with experimental data.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
