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 …

External electric field and plasma assisted combustion show great potential for combustion
enhancement, eg, emission and ignition control. To understand soot suppression by …

Recent decades have seen increasingly restrictive regulations applied to gasoline engines.
Gasoline combustion chemistry must be investigated to achieve a better understanding and …

Oxymethylene ethers (OME n) are discussed as attractive carbon-reduced alternative fuels
because they offer the potential to inhibit the formation of soot particles. In the present study …

In this work, the spray and auto-ignition characteristics of light naphtha (LN), primary
reference fuels (PRF65, PRF95), Haltermann gasoline (CARB LEVIII, 10 vol% ethanol), and …

In the present work, a 5-component gasoline surrogate chemical kinetic mechanism has
been developed and validated. The first novelty of this mechanism is that a recently …

This work examines the oxidation of a well-characterized, high-octane-number FACE (fuel
for advanced combustion engines) F gasoline. Oxidation experiments were performed in a …

In the present work, an existing TRF (toluene reference fuel) chemical kinetic mechanism
has been improved. In the improvement, the existing TRF mechanism was found to have …

A series of renewable and clean oxygenated compounds possessing high octane numbers,
including alcohols, ethers, esters and furans, were used as octane boosters for gasoline …

Currently, many research studies are exploring opportunities for the use of novel fuels and of
their blends with conventional, ie petroleum-based fuels. To pave the way for their …
