Computational and Experimental Investigations on Biodiesel Combustion Process
… combustion process of liquid conventional and biofuels depend on factors ranging from the thermophysicochemical properties associated with such fuels to the combustion infrastructure used to burn them. A third class of fuels commonly referred to as surrogate fuels can be obtained by mixing …

Ignition delay of oxygenated fuel droplets: development of a 1 second drop tower and initial 1-g test results
<p>United States' dependency on petroleum fuels, much of it imported, has remained at the same level even as alternative fuels become more readily available to the consumer market. One alternative to petroleum based fuel is biodiesel. Biodiesel has been shown to have lower carbon monoxide, …

Autoignition and combustion chemistry of kerosene type fuels and components
… combustion of conventional (petroleum-based) jet fuels, alternative (synthetic or bio-derived) fuels, and pure fuel components at low combustion temperatures (500 – 725K) and under stoichiometric to fuel lean conditions. These conditions are of interest because they occur at the edges of stable …

Flame Studies on Conventional, Alternative, and Surrogate Jet Fuels, and Their Reference Hydrocarbons
… and extinction of various liquid hydrocarbon fuels, including conventional and alternative jet fuels, surrogate fuels, and their reference hydrocarbon components. The laminar flame speeds and extinction stretch rates are experimentally determined by using a twin-flame counterflow setup …

Ignition delay study of next generation alternative jet fuels in a rapid compression machine
Alternative fuels have been widely and actively investigated recently to alleviate an impending energy crisis. Rising environmental, economical, and political concerns requires employments of alternative sources of energy other than conventional fossil fuels. Alternative aviation fuels from diverse …
