There has been much recent progress in the area of surrogate fuels for diesel. In the last few
years, experiments and modeling have been performed on higher molecular weight …

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 …

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 …

Ongoing progress in synthetic biology, metabolic engineering, and catalysis continues to
produce a diverse array of advanced biofuels with complex molecular structure and …

A detailed chemical kinetic reaction mechanism is developed for the five major components
of soy biodiesel and rapeseed biodiesel fuels. These components, methyl stearate, methyl …

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 …

Burgeoning global demand for energy has increased concerns about the fuel security issues
and deleterious environmental impacts that result from the ubiquitous use of fossil fuels to …

The combustion and emissions of n-butanol/biodiesel dual-fuel injection were investigated
on a diesel engine based on experiments and simulations. n-Butanol was injected into the …

Due to growing environmental concerns and diminishing petroleum reserves, a wide range
of oxygenated species has been proposed as possible substitutes to fossil fuels: alcohols …

The weakly coordinated triflate complex [(P∧ P) Pd (OTf)]+(OTf)−(1)(P∧ P= 1, 3-bis (di-tert-
