Preface

The goal of this book is to provide a profound contribution to the research about liquid biofuel technologies from fundamental to applications for engineers and scientists.

This book is an advanced assemblage of twenty chapters including “Introduction to Biomass to Biofuels Technologies”, “Advancements of Cavitation Technology in Biodiesel Production – from Fundamental Concept to Commercial Scale-up”, “Heterogeneous Catalyst for Pyrolysis and Biodiesel Production”, “Algal biofuel: Emergent applications in next generation Biofuel Technology”, “Co-liquefaction of Biomass to Biofuels”, “Biomass to Bio Jet Fuels: A Take Off to the Aviation Industry”, “Advance in Bio-ethanol Technology: Production and Characterization”, “Effect of Process Parameters on the Production of Pyrolytic Products from Biomass Through Pyrolysis”, “Thermo-Catalytic Conversion of Non-Edible Seeds (Extractive-Rich Biomass) to Fuel Oil”, “Suitability of Oil Seed Residues as a Potential Source of Bio-Fuels and Bioenergy”, “Co-Conversion of Algal Biomass to Biofuel”, “Pyrolysis of Caryota Urens Seeds: Fuel Properties and Compositional Analysis”, “Bio-Butanol as Biofuels: The Present and Future Scope”, “Application of Nanotechnology in the Production of Biofuel”, “Experimental Investigation of Long Run Viability of Engine Oil Properties in DI Diesel Engine Fuelled with Diesel, Bioethanol and Biodiesel Blend”, “Studies on the Diesel Blends Oxidative Stability in Mixture with TBHQ Antioxidant and Soft Computation Approach Using ANN and RSM at Varying Blend Ratio”, “Effect of Nanoparticles in Bio-Oil on the Performance, Combustion and Emission Characteristics of a Diesel Engine”, “Use of Optimization Techniques to Study the Engine Performance and Emission Analysis of Diesel Engine”, “Engine Performance and Emission Analysis of Biodiesel-Diesel and Biomass Pyrolytic Oil-Diesel Blended Oil: A Comparative Study”, and “Agro-Waste for Second-Generation Biofuels”.

I take the prospect to express my honest thanks to all the proficient authors from India, Turkey, Qatar, United Kingdom, and Taiwan who have imparted their enthusiastic efforts in contributing such beautiful and very informative chapters with the most recent literature and case studies on fundamentals and applications of liquid biofuels.

Copious support and encouragement from my parents, elder brother, sister-in-law, and my sweet wife has provided me the confidence and strength to technically manage and complete this book.

I also thank Wiley-Scrivener for the cooperation in developing this comprehensive book.
