Biodiesel has the potential to significantly contribute to making transportation fuels more
sustainable. Due to the complexity and nonlinearity of processes for biodiesel production …

All properties of organic moleculessphysical, chemical, biological, and
technologicalsdepend on their chemical structure and vary with it in a systematic way. The …

Jet turbine fuels have not been completely replaced by biomass-derived fuels due, in part, to
the lack of the aromatic and cycloalkane hydrocarbons in bio-jet fuels. Such molecules play …

Models for estimation of cetane number of biodiesel from their fatty acid methyl ester
composition using multiple linear regression and artificial neural networks were obtained in …

Cetane number improvement of diesel fuels is a difficult task that refiners will face in the near
future. Aromatics saturation by deep hydrogenation is a necessary, but perhaps not sufficient …

An improved model for the prediction of ignition quality of hydrocarbon fuels has been
developed using 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and multiple linear …

Surrogate fuel formulation has drawn significant interest due to its relevance towards
understanding combustion properties of complex fuel mixtures. In this work, we present a …

The objective of the current study was to formulate RP-3 kerosene surrogate by emulating
fuel properties affecting the physical and chemical processes of the target fuel under the …

Surrogate fuels aim to reproduce real fuel combustion characteristics in order to enable
predictive simulations and fuel/engine design. In this work, surrogate mixtures were …

Abstract Derived Cetane Number (DCN) serves as a critical indicator for assessing the
ignition quality of fuels in diesel engines. Training generalized regression models for DCN is …
