About
the Workshop
In this Workshop, we solicit input from industry and other government
agencies on how best we can serve the needs of the biofuels community.
Invited speakers will discuss property needs from the perspectives
of chemical process design, engine performance, and infrastructure
issues. We will present the initial NIST work on the properties
of biofuels and earlier, related work on other fuels. Break-out
groups will then consider priorities for fuels and needed property
data, and consider how best to disseminate these data to the relevant
stakeholders.
Objective
To prioritize and coordinate the measurement, metrological, and
evaluated data needs for the properties of biofuels and fuel blends.

Topics:
|
Thermophysical
properties needs for biofuels from the perspectives of chemical
process design, blending, distribution, and engine design and
performance; elements of current and proposed NIST work on the
properties of fuels.
