Advances in clean energy : production and application / Anand Ramanathan, Babu Dharmalingam, and Vinoth Thangarasu.

"This book endeavours to support sustainable clean energy technology and green fuel for clean combustion by reviewing the pros and cons of currently available technologies on biodiesel production from biomass sources, recent injection strategy, low-temperature combustion technology and biofuels derived from biomass sources. Discussed topics include overview of global energy sources and present energy scenario, biodiesel production techniques, the physico-chemical and thermal behavior of biodiesel, metal and alcohol additives on diesel engine combustion, novel advanced injection strategy, low-temperature combustion technology, lignocellulose biomass and conversion into biofuels"-- Provided by publisher.
