Spatial investigation of plasma emission from laminar diffusion methanol, ethanol, and n -propanol alcohol flames using LIBS method
Mahsa Ghezelbash,Abdollah Eslami Majd,Seyyed Mohammad Reza Darbani,Seyyed Jabbar Mousavi,Seyyed Jabbar Mousavi,Ali Ghasemi,Masoud Kavosh Tehrani +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) technique is used to record some plasma emissions of different laminar diffusion methanol, ethanol, and n-propanol alcohol flames, to investigate the shapes, structures (i.e., reactants and products zones), kind, and quality of burning in different areas.

Investigation on the autoignition characteristics of propanol and butanol isomers under diluted lean conditions for stratified low temperature combustion
TL;DR: In this paper, the autoignition properties of propanol and butanol isomers have been investigated in a rapid compression machine (RCM) under 90% dilution, at temperatures from 800 K to 1100 K, pressures of 20 and 40 bar and equivalence ratios of 0.25, 0.5 and 0.9.

Combustion characteristics of trimethyl borate, diesel, and trimethyl borate-diesel blend droplets
TL;DR: In this article , a high-speed camera and a thermal camera were used to study the evolution of fuel droplet diameter, flame structure, and flame temperature over time, with the addition of 20, 40, 60, 80, and 80% trimethyl borate fuel to diesel fuel.

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.
