Characterization of carbonaceous aerosols from biofuel combustion: emissions and climate relevant properties
… due to their prevalence in the atmosphere. Biofuel combustion is responsible for nearly 20% of primary BC and OC emissions, but this source is relatively unstudied. Both emissions and optical properties (especially absorption) of carbonaceous aerosols from biofuel combustion need to be …

Modeling study of the hygroscopic, optical, and cloud-activation properties of aerosols from biofuel combustion
Residential combustion of biofuel is an important source of aerosols and gases in the atmosphere. Emissions from biofuel combustion can affect the climate due to the presence of warming species that absorb radiation like black carbon and greenhouse gases, or cooling due to aerosols that scatter …

Historical anthropogenic emissions of carbon monoxide, 1850 - 2000
… of carbon monoxide (CO) from fossil fuel and biofuel combustion from 1850 to 2000. We reconstruct fuel consumption data of brick and cement industry, as well as production data of iron and steel industry. We develop technology divisions for the four industries and also add several new …

Automatic Generation of Chemical Kinetic Models for Biofuel Oxidation and Pyrolysis
Biofuels hold great promise for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and boosting engine performance. Modeling biofuel combustion and pyrolysis chemistry with chemical kinetic models allows for high-throughput evaluation of their performance under various conditions. These models, typically comprising …

Characterization and Chemical Kinetic Analysis of the Ignition of Representative Conventional and Bio-Derived Fuels
… as global climate change and rising sea levels. Biofuels are an environmentally friendly alternative which can substitute fossil fuels without major engine modications, especially in the transportation sector. Furans, a class of biofuels, are considered as possible alternative fuels for SI …

Physicochemical and performance study of next generation alternative jet fuels
… properties of aviation fuels and their impact on combustion performance in relevant applications for existing and emerging engine architecture with a particular focus on next generation alternative jet fuels (AJF). The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Center of Excellence for Alternative Jet …
