Howdy Randall. This sounds interesting, do you have a reference? My
guess would be that the hydrogen just dissolves in the oil, the result
of which is a mixture with a lower viscosity and higher heat of
combustion. I can't imagine a chemical reaction, unless one does metal
catalyzed hydrogenat
I was reading a research paper that indicated that loading vegetable
oil with Hydrogen would have much the same effect as using an acid for
transesterfication. If this is the case, would it be more cost effective
to use Hydrogen? It seems steps could be eliminated or made simpler.
