Currently, the development of alternative and green energy sources has been being strongly
pushed aiming to recoup the lack of fossil energy, to meet the ever-increasing demand of …

The fundamental combustion and emissions properties of advanced biofuels are reviewed,
and their impact on engine performance is discussed, in order to guide the selection of …

Sustainably produced biofuels, especially when they are derived from lignocellulosic
biomass, are being discussed intensively for future ground transportation. Traditionally …

Cool flames play a critical role in ignition timing, burning rate, burning limits, engine
knocking, and emissions in conventional and advanced combustion engines. This paper …

Abstract Liquid 2, 5-dimethylfuran (DMF) produced from lignocellulosic biomass is
considered as a promising transport biofuel since its physicochemical properties are similar …

At a first glance, ethanol, toluene and methyl tert-butyl ether look nothing alike with respect
to their molecular structures. Nevertheless, all share a similarly high octane number. A …

Abstract Cyclic Ethers (CEs) belong to a class of compounds of importance to understand
the chemistry of both the engine auto-ignition of hydrocarbon fuels and the combustion of …

Globally, lignocellulosic biomass is known as the largest renewable energy source and it is
thus received much attention from the scientist community for the synthesis progress of bio …

Dimethylfuran (DMF), which is considered as a promising new generation of alternative fuel,
has the potential to relieve the global fossil fuel shortage and air pollution problems. In the …

The pyrolytic and oxidative behaviour of the biofuel 2, 5-dimethylfuran (25DMF) has been
studied in a range of experimental facilities in order to investigate the relatively unexplored …
