Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Biodiesel oil and esters, fuels of renewable origin, may be used in unmodified diesel engines. They are nevertheless likely to produce NOx and carbon deposits, but the associated chemical and physical fundamentals are still not well understood. This paper deals with simulations of a single‐cylinder research diesel engine using virtual fuels which show the effects of different liquid properties in a cumulative manner. These properties are representative of conventional fuel and fatty‐acid bio‐oils (including biodiesel‐esters). The aim is to investigate the impact on the in‐cylinder processes of each property change from a conventional alkane to a fatty acid. Critical temperature, which makes fatty‐acid biodiesels much less volatile than conventional diesel, has the biggest impact. It strongly delays the release of fuel in the gas phase and extends the combustion time. The effects of droplet break‐up, heating and density of the droplets are marginal. Globally, a longer survival time of droplets tends to spread the combustion and rich mixture zones.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
