This book presents the papers given at a conference on diverse fuels used in diesel engines. Topics considered include an improved cetane number predictor, surface tension as an indicator of the cetane number of diesel fuels, cetane number prediction from proton-type distribution and relative hydrogen population, the structural characterization of middle distillate fuels, an expression for the average molecular weight of diesel fuels, diesel fuel quality and performance additives, and cetane number requirements of light-duty diesel engines at low temperatures.
