Journal ArticleDOI
Biofuels (alcohols and biodiesel) applications as fuels for internal combustion engines
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the production, characterization and current statuses of vegetable oil and biodiesel as well as the experimental research work carried out in various countries is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progress and recent trends in biofuels
TL;DR: A review of modern biomass-based transportation fuels such as fuels from Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, bioethanol, fatty acid (m)ethylester, biomethanol, and biohydrogen are briefly reviewed in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progress in bioethanol processing
TL;DR: A review of the biological and thermochemical methods that could be used to produce bioethanol is made and an analysis of its global production trends is carried out in this paper, where the authors evaluate the utilization of different feedstocks (i.e., sucrose containing, starchy materials, lignocellulosic biomass) is required considering the big share of raw materials in bio-ethanol costs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biofuels sources, biofuel policy, biofuel economy and global biofuel projections
TL;DR: The use of vegetable oils for making biodiesel due to its less polluting and renewable nature as against the conventional petroleum diesel fuel has been renewed interest in the use of biodiesel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anaerobic fermentation of glycerol: a path to economic viability for the biofuels industry.
TL;DR: The anaerobic fermentation of Glycerol in microbes and the harnessing of this metabolic process to convert abundant and low-priced glycerol streams into higher value products, thus creating a path to viability for the biofuels industry are reviewed.

Internal combustion engine fundamentals
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe real engine flow and combustion processes, as well as engine operating characteristics and their operation, including engine design and operating parameters, engine characteristics, and operating characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interest of combining an additive with diesel–ethanol blends for use in diesel engines
TL;DR: In this article, two organic additives were selected for their different physico-chemical parameters to study the behaviour of a diesel-ethanol mixture and two diesel engines with direct and indirect injection.

Miscibility of ethanol in diesel fuels
K. R. Gerdes,Galen J. Suppes +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the phase behavior of ethanol in diesel fuel has been studied and a transition in phase behavior from gasoline, where phase behavior problems are consistently avoided, to US-2D diesel fuel, with phase behavior is considered a barrier to implementation.
