Formation kinetics of nitric oxide of a biodiesel surrogate relative to n-heptane under comparable oxygen equivalence ratio in a homogeneous reactor

► Objective: determine NO concentrations of a biodiesel surrogate and n-heptane. ► Study conducted using a 0-D homogeneous reactor with available kinetics for fuels. ► Study observes surrogate has lower oxygen consumption efficiency than n-heptane. ► Fuel conversion percentages of surrogate components increase slower than n-heptane.
