Cetane number - definition of cetane number by The Free Dictionary
https://www.thefreedictionary.com/cetane+number
Related to cetane number: diesel index
A performance rating for diesel fuels, with a higher number indicating greater fuel efficiency. The number corresponds to the percentage of cetane in a cetane-heptamethylnonane mixture, or (and originally) in a cetane-methylnaphthalene mixture, with the same ignition performance as the fuel being rated. Also called cetane rating.
(Chemistry) a measure of the quality of a diesel fuel expressed as the percentage of cetane in a mixture of cetane and 1-methylnapthalene of the same quality as the given fuel. Also called: cetane rating Compare octane number

Diesel Fuel Additives Market 2019: Global Key Players, Trends, Share, Industry Size, Segmentation, Opportunities, Forecast To 2025
The fuel properties of the biodiesel produced including specific gravity (kg/L), cetane number, oxidative stability (h), kinematic viscosity (mm2/s, 40AdegC), lubricity (HFRR, um), cloud point (AdegC), pour point (AdegC), flash point (AdegF), cold filter plugging point (AdegC), copper strip corrosion (100AdegC, 3h), sulfur content (ppm), distillation temperature (AdegC), bottom sediments and water (B.SandW) (% vol.), free glycerin (%), acid value (mg KOH/g) and ash content (%) were analyzed according to ASTM methods.
The specialty fuel additives market can be segmented product wise intofuel antioxidants, lubricity improvers, corrosion inhibitors, deposit control additives, cold flow improvers, cetane number improvers, fuel system icing inhibitors,metal deactivators etc.
Specialty Fuel Additives Market Higher Mortality Rates by 2020
Cetane number, Cetane rating or CN is an indicator of the combustion speed of diesel fuel and compression needed for ignition.
The comparison between ULSD and diesel+ (pure or blended) curves highlights the cetane number effect on the pressure development.
Physical properties of each FAME including cetane number, Kinematic viscosity, Density and Higher heating value were calculated from empirical equations [16]:
Cetane index formula was used to estimate the cetane number of biodiesel following ASTM D 613 and ASTM D, 976 while the cloud point was determined by using standard test method ASTM D 2500.
