NIST’s “advanced distillation curve” method could accelerate and simplify testing of biodiesels, according to lead author Tom Bruno. NIST researchers used the new method to demonstrate the ...

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed an improved method for measuring basic properties of complex fuel mixtures like gasoline or jet fuel. The new ...

Researchers have developed the first detailed chemical analysis revealing what processing is needed to transform pig manure derived 'crude oil' into fuel for vehicles or heating. Mass production of ...

In this interview, AZoM talks to Thomas Herold, Product Manager at PAC LP, about how atmospheric distillation can be measured following the well-known test method ASTM D86 / ISO 3405 or with the Micro ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract It is desirable to predict the cold weather driveability performance of fuels by means of an index based on simple measurements such as the ...

AI and modern sensors can track temperature, alcohol content, and volatile compounds in real time, making the distillation curve easier to control. Yield and quality can be improved, and AI can ...

PREVIOUS papers relating to the cooperative fuel-research investigation of engine-starting have attacked the problem along two distinct lines, namely, (a) by actual tests of the time required to start ...

After a close examination of crude oil made from pig manure, chemists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are certain about a number of things. Most obviously, "This stuff ...
