Unconventional characterization of biodiesel from several sources by thermal lens spectroscopy to determine thermal diffusivity: Phenomenological correlation among their physicochemical and rheological properties

Correlations among thermophysical properties, ignition quality, volatility, chemical composition, and kinematic viscosity of petroleum distillates

“…4 Correlations of thermophysical properties with the flash point, 387 which varies inversely with fuel volatility [28], were also observed. calculated for oils and biodiesels in a recent publication [29]. 423 When Pr ) 1 (the situation for the hydrocarbon streams investi-424 gated in this work) convection dominates during heat transfer.…”

Accuracy of Measurements of Thermophysical Parameters by Dual-Beam Thermal-Lens Spectrometry

“…On the contrary, TLS is highly sensitive to rather slight changes in the sample composition and also requires minimal sample preparation [ 42 , 43 ]. Emphasis of TLS application in this area is placed on the accurate calculation of thermophysical properties of nanofluids [ 36 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 ], biodiesel [ 47 , 48 ] solid multicomponent systems [ 49 ], nanoparticles [ 50 , 51 , 52 ], quantum dots [ 53 ], glasses [ 54 , 55 , 56 ], and semiconductors [ 57 ].…”

Effects of paraffin chain size on the oil outflow investigated by a combination of thermal lens and laser-induced fluorescence spectrometries

“…Among the studies, the most relevant focused on the investigation of the influence of surfactants and nanoelectrolytes in water [17], monitoring of thermal parameters of different edible oils [18], indirect detection of minor compounds in complex mixtures [19], and evaluation of the influence of molecular interactions on the thermophysical properties of binary liquid mixtures [20,21].…”

“…Silva et al [21] described an attempt to establish a phenomenological correlation between the rheological and physicochemical properties of several biodiesel types. They utilized TLS to characterize different plant oils and their respective biodiesels, using values of thermal diffusivity.…”
