Development of reduced reaction kinetics and fuel physical properties models for in-cylinder simulation of biodiesel combustion

The analyses of spray, combustion and emission characteristics for two types of biodiesel fuels, namely coconut methyl ester (CME) and soybean methyl ester (SME) are reported in this thesis. In order to produce high fidelity numerical spray and combustion representation for CME and SME, accurately d...
