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

MODELING OF U.S. CORN ETHANOL INDUSTRIAL GROWTH

April 13, 2011
Author(s)
Deogratias Kibira, Guodong Shao, Stephen Nowak
The production capacity of corn ethanol as a transportation fuel is experiencing rapid growth in the United States. The demand is driven by increased prices of gasoline, government mandates, incentives, desire for cleaner fuels, and the need to achieve

Pressure Controlled Advanced Distillation Curve Analysis on Biodiesel Fuels

March 27, 2011
Author(s)
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

H Atom Attack on Propene

March 15, 2011
Author(s)
Claudette M. Rosado-Reyes, Jeffrey A. Manion, Wing Tsang
The reaction of propene(CH3CH=CH2) with hydrogen atoms has been investigated in a heated single-pulsed shock tube at temperature between 929K-1212K and pressures of 1.7bar-3.4bar. Stable products from H atom addition and H abstraction have been identified

Equations of State on Demand: Application for Surrogate Fuel Development

January 15, 2011
Author(s)
Marcia L. Huber, Thomas J. Bruno, Robert D. Chirico, Vladimir Diky, Andrei F. Kazakov, Eric W. Lemmon, Chris D. Muzny, Michael D. Frenkel
The NIST ThermoData Engine (TDE) is a large electronic database containing experimental data with detailed descriptions of relevant metadata and uncertainties that incorporates expert- system software to automatically generate dynamically evaluated data

WATER TRANSPORT ACROSS A POLYMER ELECTROLYTE MEMBRANE UNDER THERMAL GRADIENTS

January 11, 2011
Author(s)
David L. Jacobson, Richard Fu, Takeshi Shiomi, Ugur Pasaogullari, Joshua Preston, Shinichi Miyazaki, Yuichiro Tabuchi, Daniel S. Hussey
A fundamental experimental and numerical study of the water transport across a perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) membrane under a temperature gradient is presented. The water transport phenomenon was experimentally investigated through water flux measurement

Thermodynamic, Transport, and Chemical Properties of Reference JP-8

July 14, 2010
Author(s)
Thomas J. Bruno, Marcia L. Huber, Arno R. Laesecke, Eric W. Lemmon, Mark O. McLinden, Stephanie L. Outcalt, Richard A. Perkins, Beverly L. Smith, Jason A. Widegren
This report contains a summary of research conducted to develop a standard or accepted set of thermophysical properties for the aviation kerosene, JP-8. This report is the culmination of a three year effort that included the participation of most 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
