Bibliography

Vegetable Oil Fuel Group Library

I used Zotero to collect and manage the references for SVO. Unfortunately, the bulk of the material in the bibliography either requires expensive subscriptions to access online or is not online at all. However, you should be able to access all the material through inter-library loan at your local public library. If you need assistance in securing any of these resources, or want to add to or edit this collection, email me.

• On page 53, the page ends with: "The bulk modulus is important because, together with specific gravity, it determines the speed at which a pressure wave moves through the fluid. The equation for this is:" But no equation appears.

  The equation is

  speed of pressure wave = √(bulk modulus / specific gravity)
