At a first glance, ethanol, toluene and methyl tert-butyl ether look nothing alike with respect
to their molecular structures. Nevertheless, all share a similarly high octane number. A …

This paper presents a review of gas-phase detailed kinetic models developed to simulate
the low-temperature oxidation and autoignition of gasoline and diesel fuel components …

Detailed chemical kinetic mechanisms were developed and used to study the oxidation of
two large unsaturated esters: methyl-5-decenoate and methyl-9-decenoate. These models …

A detailed chemical kinetic mechanism has been developed and used to study the oxidation
of methyl decanoate, a surrogate for biodiesel fuels. This model has been built by following …

Ongoing progress in synthetic biology, metabolic engineering, and catalysis continues to
produce a diverse array of advanced biofuels with complex molecular structure and …

The motivation for and challenges in reducing the world's dependence on crude oil while
simultaneously improving engine performance through better fuel efficiency and reduced …

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

Burgeoning global demand for energy has increased concerns about the fuel security issues
and deleterious environmental impacts that result from the ubiquitous use of fossil fuels to …

The autoignition of methyl butanoate has been studied at 1 and 4 atm in a shock tube over
the temperature range 1250–1760 K at equivalence ratios of 1.5, 1.0, 0.5, and 0.25 at fuel …

Due to growing environmental concerns and diminishing petroleum reserves, a wide range
of oxygenated species has been proposed as possible substitutes to fossil fuels: alcohols …
