“…Recent work on the evaporation of vegetable oils droplets has shown that triglyceride break down into light and flammable volatile materials (alcohols, alkanes, alkenes, etc.) which, when they reach a critical threshold amount, ignite and trigger combustion [7] [14] [15]. Thus the formulation of fuels based on vegetable oils and light compounds such as alkanes can be a good way to overcome some problems observed with straight vegetable oils, specifically at low engine loads.…”
