Predictive Skeletal Kinetic Model of Biodiesel Autoxidation

摘要: Gradual depletion of fossil fuels, growing environmental concerns, and global warming have shifted the focus to renewable liquid such as biodiesel. Biodiesel is reported cause less emission can be used in engines without much modification. Even though biodiesel fuels promising combustion characteristics for use engines, their poor oxidation stability due aging an inhibiting factor wider usage. In this paper, autoxidation model proposed, considering major fatty acid constituents. The proposed kinetic parameters are optimized using a genetic algorithm with help experimental data available literature. Temperature fuel effects on rate studied. kinetics scheme useful predict constituents fair degree accuracy. also enables prediction engineering quantity, viz., induction period, facilitate priori evaluation au...
