Effects of autooxidation on the fuel spray characteristics of Karanja biodiesel
TL;DR: In this article, the macroscopic spray characteristics of fresh and aged Karanja biodiesels are compared with that of diesel, and the results showed that although biodiesel's long-term storage results in variations in physical and chemical properties, there are no significant variations in the macro-scopic spraying characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
A critical review on available models to predict engine fuel properties of biodiesel
TL;DR: A critical analysis of approaches and models available in the literature to predict biodiesel properties that are important for fuel quality specifications, storage, handling, and durability of the fuel injection systems is provided in this paper.

Land and water requirements of biofuel and implications for food supply and the environment in China
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the land and water requirements of biofuel in China with reference to the government biofuel development plans for 2010 and 2020, and showed that the current level of bioethanol production consumes 3.5-4% of total maize production of the country, reducing market availability of maize for other uses by about 6%.
