An alternative diesel fuel that is steadily gaining attention and significance is biodiesel,
which is defined as the monoalkyl esters of vegetable oils and animal fats. Previous …

High molecular weight alcohol and ether fuels with their advanced autoignition propensities
and oxygenated molecular structures are promising future fuel candidates for compression …

Naphtha from low temperature Fischer− Tropsch (LTFT) synthesis is rich in n-paraffins, but it
also contains alcohols and olefins. These alcohols and olefins can be converted into linear …

Viscosity is an important property of fuels for internal combustion engines and has normative
values in quality standards for commercial fuels used in compression ignition engines …

The major objective of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of Indian wild castor oil
and methyl/ethyl ester as an additive to enhance the lubricity of low lubricity diesel fuel. The …

The high viscosity of vegetable oil can be reduced by transesterification with alcohols and
converting it into biodiesel. Biodiesel can be used neat or blended with diesel as engine …

Many performance characteristics of liquid fuels including lubricity, the ability to swell seal
materials, storage stability, and thermal stability are determined, to a large degree, by the …

The advent of low-sulfur petrodiesel fuels has raised concern about the inherent lubricity of
these fuels. It has been shown that these fuels possess poorer lubricity than their non …
