A review on soot formation in biodiesel coflow flames

This book presents a detailed review of biodiesel, its chemical composition, methyl esters composition and molecular structure and soot formation. The different chemical kinetic mechanism for different esters, governing equations of biodiesel laminar flame and different soot models are discussed. Soot formation theory, soot modelling strategies and their application to biodiesel soot formation are described. The content in this book gives the researcher more insight in biodiesel as an alternative fuel.
