The book begins with a concise overview of the fundamentals of the properties and preparation of biodiesel, including coverage of the processes involved in the formation of soot particulates, the influence of different fuels on formation, and the effects of different soot on air pollution, friction reduction, and wear resistance of lubricating oil. Other sections cover the influence of biodiesel soot on engine parts and combustion devices.
This book will be of particular interest to graduate students and academic or industrial researchers in materials science, as well as mechanical, automotive and chemical engineering.
- Covers the tribology, morphology, composition, structure and dispersion of biodiesel soot in engines
- Guides problem-solving related to the effects of biodiesel soot on the tribological properties of lubricating oil
- Provides fundamental knowledge on the performance and preparation of biodiesel fuel
- Discusses the physical-chemical properties of biodiesel soot from the combustion of different fuels
