“…Starting from the chemical composition, application of the molecular knowledge enables the determination of numerous fuel properties such as density, freezing point, flash point, heat of combustion, surface tension, and viscosity. , As a consequence, a very detailed understanding of the composition of complex fuel mixtures becomes the crucial factor in linking molecules to combustion processes. Detailed compositional determination can be achieved by comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GCxGC), playing an important role in the analysis of petroleum-derived products, fossil fuels, and increasingly synthetic fuels and fuels from bio-based sources. − …”
