Comparison of Diesel Fuel Oxygenates with Composition-Explicit Distillation Curve Method Part 1: Linear Compounds with One to Three Oxygens

May 2, 2011
Author(s)
Thomas J. Bruno, Tara Lovestead, Jennifer Riggs, Erica Jorgensen, Marcia L. Huber
There is a great deal of interest in formulating oxygenated diesel fuels that produce low particulate emissions. The most common oxygenating additives for diesel fuels include the glycol ethers, glycol esters, alcohols, ethers and ketones. It is important

Pressure Controlled Advanced Distillation Curve Analysis on Biodiesel Fuels

March 27, 2011

Bret Windom, Tara M. Lovestead, Thomas J. Bruno
Biodiesel fuel is an alternative fuel that can be derived from a number of renewable feedstocks including plant and vegetable oils, algae, animal fats, waste oils, etc. The fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) profile, and thus the resultant properties, of the

The Decomposition and Isomerization of 5-Methylhex-1-yl Radical

July 9, 2010
Author(s)
Iftikhar A. Awan, William S. McGivern, Wing Tsang, Jeffrey A. Manion
The decomposition and isomerization reactions of the 5-methylhex-1-yl radical (1-5MeH) have been studied at temperatures of 889 K to 1064 K and pressures of 1.6 bar to 2.2 bar using the single pulse shock tube technique. The radical of interest was

Surrogate Mixture Models for the Thermophysical Properties of Aviation Fuel Jet-A

May 27, 2010
Author(s)
Marcia L. Huber, Eric W. Lemmon, Thomas J. Bruno
We developed surrogate mixture models to represent the thermophysical properties of two samples of aviation turbine fuel Jet-A. One sample is a composite of numerous batches from a multiple manufacturers and is considered to be a representative fuel. A
