Principles of Biofuels and Hydrogen Gas: Production and Engine Performance PDF

CATS Abstract:

Explore the latest processes, techniques, and technologies to economically refine and produce biofuels.

This hands-on guide offers comprehensive coverage of biofuel chemistry, refining processes, and performance characteristics. Featuring contributions from a team of international experts, Principles of Biofuels and Hydrogen Gas: Production and Engine Performance shows how to economically produce high-performance, eco-friendly biofuels. You will get clear discussions of hydrogen gas extraction, biodiesel production, and biofuel refinement from biomass and water. Each chapter contains an explanation of underlying theories as well as start-to-finish procedures for manufacturing biofuels on a commercial scale.

Coverage includes:

• Introduction to nonconventional energy sources

• Photosynthetic plants as energy sources

• Microbial and algae oil biodiesel production

• Nanotechnology in biofuel production

• Fuel and physical properties of biodiesel

• Processing of vegetable oils as biodiesel

• Ethanol and methanol as fuels in internal combustion engines

• Cracking of lipids for fuels and chemicals

• Current status of and future perspectives for biofuels

• Hydrogen energy
