The motivation for and challenges in reducing the world's dependence on crude oil while
simultaneously improving engine performance through better fuel efficiency and reduced …

Alcohols, such as butanol, are a class of molecules that have been proposed as a bio-
derived alternative or blending agent for conventional petroleum derived fuels. The …

Conventional petroleum jet and diesel fuels, as well as alternative Fischer–Tropsch (FT)
fuels and hydrotreated renewable jet (HRJ) fuels, contain high molecular weight lightly …

Esters are considered as potential fuels in the transportation sector including road, marine
shipping, and aviation to control greenhouse gas emissions. In the context of this possibility …

This review analyses and summarises the previous investigations on the oxidation of
linseed oil and the self-heating of cotton and other materials impregnated with the oil. It …

A shock tube study of the autoignition of methyl decanoate, a candidate surrogate for
biodiesel fuels containing large methyl esters, has been carried out. Ignition delay times …

The diffusive extinction limits of a series of methyl ester flames, from methyl formate to methyl
decanoate, have been measured in the counterflow configuration. Kinetic and transport …

A reduced chemical kinetics mechanism has been developed and validated under zero-
