Title: Diesel fuel composition comprising dialkoxy alkanes for increased cetane number

Abstract

A diesel fuel composition is set forth for an increased cetane number vis-a-vis conventional diesel fuel compositions. The composition generally comprises one or more compounds selected from the dialkoxy alkane (DAAK) chemical family. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the diesel fuel composition consists of moderate amounts of dimethoxy propane (DMPP) and dimethoxy ethane (DMET) blended into a conventional diesel fuel.

Method of producing a diesel fuel blend having a pre-determined flash-point and pre-determined increase in cetane number

Patent Waller, Francis Joseph; Quinn, Robert

The present invention relates to a method of producing a diesel fuel blend having a pre-determined flash-point and a pre-determined increase in cetane number over the stock diesel fuel. Upon establishing the desired flash-point and increase in cetane number, an amount of a first oxygenate with a flash-point less than the flash-point of the stock diesel fuel and a cetane number equal to or greater than the cetane number of the stock diesel fuel is added to the stock diesel fuel in an amount sufficient to achieve the pre-determined increase in cetane number. Thereafter, an amount of a second oxygenatemore » « less

Electrolyte compositions comprising ionic liquids and metal hydride batteries comprising same

Patent Meng, Tiejun; Young, Kwo; Wong, Diana; ...

Electrolyte compositions comprising a) an ionic liquid and b) a protic acid and/or an organic solvent are suitable for use in electrochemical cells, e.g. metal hydride batteries. The electrolyte compositions may replace the currently employed 30% by weight aqueous KOH. Suitable protic acids include carboxylic acids, mineral acids, sulfonic acids and the like. Suitable organic solvents include organic carbonates, ethers, glymes, ortho esters, polyalkylene glycols, esters, lactones, glycols, formates, sulfones, sulfoxides, amides, alcohols, ketones, nitro solvents, nitrile solvents and combinations thereof. Present batteries may achieve a nominal open-circuit voltage of >1.2 V (volts) and up to about 6 V. Themore » « less

Composites comprising silicon carbide fibers dispersed in magnesia-aluminate matrix and fabrication thereof and of other composites by sinter forging

Patent Panda, Prakash C [Ithaca, NY]; Seydel, Edgar R [Ithaca, NY]; Raj, Rishi [Ithaca, NY]

A novel ceramic-ceramic composite of a uniform dispersion of silicon carbide fibers in a matrix of MgO.multidot.nAl.sub.2 O.sub.3 wherein n ranges from about 1 to about 4.5, said composite comprising by volume from 1 to 50% silicon carbide fibers and from 99 to 50% MgO.multidot.nAl.sub.2 O.sub.3. The composite is readily fabricated by forming a powder comprising a uniform dispersion of silicon carbide fibers in poorly crystalline phase comprising MgO and Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 in a mole ratio of n and either (a) hot pressing or preferably (b) cold pressing to form a preform and then forging utilizing a temperature in themore » « less
