Advanced Biofuels and Beyond: Chemistry Solutions for Propulsion and Production.
TL;DR: It will be demonstrated that a fundamental understanding of the combustion process can be instrumental to derive design criteria for the molecular structure of fuel candidates, which can then be targets for the analysis of synthetic pathways and the development of catalytic production routes.

Development of a skeletal mechanism for biodiesel blend surrogates with varying fatty acid methyl esters proportion
TL;DR: In this paper, a skeletal four-component biodiesel combustion mechanism comprising methyl decenoate, methyl-5-decenate, n -decane and methyl linoleate is proposed.

A skeletal mechanism modeling on soot emission characteristics for biodiesel surrogates with varying fatty acid methyl esters proportion
TL;DR: In this article, a new developed four-component biodiesel combustion skeletal mechanism comprising methyl decenoate, methyl-5-decenate, n -decane and methyl linoleate is presented in this work, which could predict soot formation trends with varying fatty acid methyl esters proportion.

A shock tube ignition delay study of conventional diesel fuel and hydroprocessed renewable diesel fuel from algal oil
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the shock tube method to measure the ignition delay of a conventional petroleum-derived military diesel fuel, F-76, and an alternative hydroprocessed renewable diesel fuel derived from hydroprocessing algal oils, HRD-76.

Dependence of Calculated Postshock Thermodynamic Variables on Vibrational Equilibrium and Input Uncertainty
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the dependence of calculated post-shock thermodynamic properties in shock tube experiments upon the vibrational state of the test gas and upon the uncertain post-shaking temperature.

Dependence of biodiesel fuel properties on the structure of fatty acid alkyl esters
TL;DR: In this paper, structural features that influence the physical and fuel properties of a fatty ester molecule are chain length, degree of unsaturation, and branching of the chain, as well as the structural features of the fatty acid and the alcohol moieties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progress and recent trends in biodiesel fuels
TL;DR: The most important variables affecting methyl ester yield during the transesterification reaction are the molar ratio of alcohol to vegetable oil and the reaction temperature as discussed by the authors, which is the commonly used alcohol in this process, due to its low cost.

“Designer” Biodiesel: Optimizing Fatty Ester Composition to Improve Fuel Properties†
TL;DR: Biodiesel is a domestic and renewable alternative with the potential to replace some of the petrodiesel market as mentioned in this paper, which is obtained from vegetable oils, animal fats, or other sources with a significant content of triacylglycerols by means of a transesterification reaction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of free radical oxidation of unsaturated lipids
TL;DR: The mechanisms of these primary reaction steps has been the focus of extensive research over the past fifty years, and the current level of understanding of these transformations is the subject of this review.

Importance of biodiesel as transportation fuel
TL;DR: Biodiesel is defined as the monoalkyl esters of vegetable oils or animal fats as mentioned in this paper and is the best candidate for diesel fuels in diesel engines, which is the main advantage that biodiesel has over gasoline and petroleum diesel.
