Oxidative Stability and Molecular Reactivity of Biodiesel from Castor and Cottonseed Oil Blends by Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Catalysis

open access: yesEnergy Technology, EarlyView.
The oxidative stability of biodiesel from homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis of castor/cottonseed oil blends is studied. Castor oil's ricinoleic acid improves oxidative stability, acting as a natural antioxidant. Yet, HT catalysis led to lower stability due to catalyst leaching.

Evaluating the sensitivity of surrogate optimization target properties characterizing droplet formation, evaporation, and chemical reactions to biodiesel composition reduction

open access: yesEnvironmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract Liquid fuels contain a large number of components. However, it is not computationally feasible to implement the detailed composition into numerical solvers in combustion chamber design. Surrogate mixtures are used to facilitate calculations, which can reproduce the fuel characteristics with fewer components providing reasonable accuracy ...

Future fuels and engines for railroad locomotives. Volume 1: Summary [PDF]

open access: yes
The potential for reducing the dependence of railroads on petroleum fuel, particularly Diesel No. 2 was investigated. Two approaches are studied: (1) to determine how the use of Diesel No.

System for operating solid oxide fuel cell generator on diesel fuel [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
A system is provided for operating a solid oxide fuel cell generator on diesel fuel. The system includes a hydrodesulfurizer which reduces the sulfur content of commercial and military grade diesel fuel to an acceptable level.

Advancing the concept of windows of opportunity to explore the dynamics of the sustainability transition: The development of the EV market in the UK

open access: yesEuropean Policy Analysis, EarlyView.
Abstract In this study, we seek to understand the interplay between industry and policy, to explain how and why the UK shifted from the promotion of low‐emission road transportation, to policy based on zero tailpipe‐emission electric vehicles (EVs), as part of its evolving net zero ambitions.
