There has been much recent progress in the area of surrogate fuels for diesel. In the last few
years, experiments and modeling have been performed on higher molecular weight …

Increased energy demand worldwide has caused faster depletion of sweet feedstock and
increased exploitation of sourer hydrocarbon fuels. These fuels often contain acid gases (H …

Real fuels are complex mixtures of thousands of hydrocarbon compounds including linear
and branched paraffins, naphthenes, olefins and aromatics. It is generally agreed that their …

The chemical modeling of combustion treats the chemical conversion of hundreds of species
through thousands of reactions. Recent advances in theoretical methodologies and …

Since real petroleum fuels are composed of a huge variety of hydrocarbon components,
surrogate mixtures of various hydrocarbon fuels are typically employed in computational …

A diesel surrogate fuel model was developed by including n-decane, iso-octane,
methylcyclohexane (MCH), and toluene, which represents the n-paraffins, iso-paraffins …

Reduced chemical kinetic mechanisms for the oxidation of representative surrogate
components of a typical multi-component automotive fuel have been developed and applied …

Improvement of gasoline combustion efficiency and its emission reduction are the hot theses
of the gasoline components and its surrogate fuels. In this paper, the mechanism and …

The pyrolytic and oxidative behaviour of the biofuel 2, 5-dimethylfuran (25DMF) has been
studied in a range of experimental facilities in order to investigate the relatively unexplored …

A detailed chemical kinetic model containing 329 species and 1888 reversible reactions has
been developed to describe the oxidation of toluene and its intermediates. The model has …
