The utilization of biofuels in such controlled combustion processes has the great advantage of not depleting the limited resources of fossil fuels while leading to emissions of greenhouse gases and smoke particles similar to those of fossil fuels. On the other hand, a vast amount of biofuels are subjected to combustion in small-scale processes, such as for heating and cooking in residential dwellings, as well as in agricultural operations, such as crop residue removal and land clearing. In addition, large amounts of biomass are consumed annually during forest and savanna fires in many parts of the world. These types of burning processes are typically uncontrolled and unregulated. Consequently, the emissions from these processes may be larger compared to industrial-type operations. Aside from direct effects on human health, especially due to a sizeable fraction of the smoke emissions remaining inside residential homes, the smoke particles and gases released from uncontrolled biofuel combustion impose significant effects on the regional and global climate. Estimates have shown the majority of carbonaceous airborne particulate matter to be derived from the combustion of biofuels and biomass. ?Production of Biofuels and Numerical Modelling of Chemical Combustion Systems? comprehensively overviews and includes in-depth technical research papers addressing recent progress in biofuel production and combustion processes. To be specific, this book contains sixteen high-quality studies (fifteen research papers and one review paper) addressing techniques and methods for bioenergy and biofuel production as well as challenges in the broad area of process modelling and control in combustion processes. 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 610 $amicroalgae 610 $ahydrothermal liquefaction 610 $apretreatment 610 $alow O and N biocrude 610 $abiodiesel 610 $aesterification 610 $afree fatty acids 610 $aglycerol 610 $awaste cooking oil 610 $aComputational Fluid Dynamics 610 $atwo-stroke 610 $adual-fuel engine 610 $asimulation 610 $apre-combustion chamber 610 $ainternal combustion engine 610 $aparticulate matter emissions 610 $abiomorphic silicon carbide 610 $avegetal waste 610 $adiesel particulate filter 610 $abiocrude 610 $ametal-oxide catalyst 610 $abioethanol 610 $adilute acid pretreatment 610 $aenzymatic hydrolysis 610 $aolive stones 610 $aPachysolen tannophilus 610 $aresponse surface methodology 610 $acompression ignition 610 $adirect injection 610 $acryogenic gas 610 $adiesel engines 610 $adual fuel engines 610 $anatural gas 610 $agreenhouse gas emissions 610 $aparticulate matter 610 $acarotenoids 610 $aextremophiles 610 $amicroalgal biotechnology 610 $aeucalyptus kraft lignin 610 $atree leaf 610 $apellet 610 $aadditive 610 $abiofuel 610 $acircular economy 610 $apiston bowl 610 $aalternative fuel 610 $avanes 610 $aemulsified biofuel 610 $acombustion 610 $agasification 610 $aolive 610 $aolive oils 610 $aolive-pruning debris 610 $aolive pomaces 610 $apyrolysis 610 $abiogas 610 $aenvironmental impact 610 $alife cycle assessment 610 $aolive pomace 610 $asustainability 610 $aTGA 610 $ahemicellulose 610 $acellulose 610 $alignin 610 $apseudocomponent kinetic model 610 $abiomass 610 $aculture 610 $ascale-up 610 $aPhaeodactylum tricornutum 610 $aburning characteristics 610 $afatty acid methyl ester 610 $aadded water content 610 $afuel structure 610 $adistillation temperature 610 $alayered double hydroxide 610 $atoluene steam reforming 610 $atar 610 $aNi-based catalyst 610 $ahydrotalcite 610 $ahydrogen production 615 7$aResearch & information: general 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 700 $aTorres Garci?a$b Miguel$4edt$01324159 702 $aGarci?a Marti?n$b Juan Francisco$4edt 702 $aTorres Garci?a$b Miguel$4oth 702 $aGarci?a Marti?n$b Juan Francisco$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557769903321 996 $aProduction of Biofuels and Numerical Modeling of Chemical Combustion Systems$93035968 997 $aUNINA
