Petroleum-derived gasoline is currently the most widely used fuel for transportation
propulsion. The design and operation of gasoline fuels is governed by specific physical and …

Rapid compression machines (RCMs) are widely used to acquire experimental insights into
fuel autoignition and pollutant formation chemistry, especially at conditions relevant to …

Abstract Ignition delay times for 1, 3-butadiene oxidation were measured in five different
shock tubes and in a rapid compression machine (RCM) at thermodynamic conditions …

This paper discusses a brief history of chemical kinetic modeling, with some emphasis on
the development of chemical kinetic mechanisms describing fuel oxidation. At high …

Butenes are intermediates ubiquitously formed by decomposition and oxidation of larger
hydrocarbons (eg alkanes) or alcohols present in conventional or reformulated fuels. In this …

This work presents an updated experimental and kinetic modeling study of n-heptane
oxidation. In the experiments, ignition delay times of stoichiometric n-heptane/air mixtures …

There is an increasing demand for kinetic models of surrogate components to predict the
combustion and emissions of real fuels. In this paper, a new surrogate fuel mechanism …

Abstract Iso-Octane (2, 2, 4-trimethylpentane) is a primary reference fuel and an important
component of gasoline fuels. Moreover, it is a key component used in surrogates to study the …

Ignition delay times of n-pentane, iso-pentane, and neo-pentane mixtures were measured in
two shock tubes and in a rapid compression machine. The experimental data were used as …

As regulatory measures for improved fuel economy and decreased emissions are pushing
gasoline engine combustion technologies towards extreme conditions (ie, boosted and …
