combustion and emissions of real fuels. In this paper, a new surrogate fuel mechanism,
C3MechV3. 3, is proposed by the Computational Chemistry Consortium (C3). This
mechanism is constructed based on a C0–C4 core mechanism, with important species of
interest in complex fuel surrogates such as the hexane isomers, n-heptane, iso-octane, nC8–
nC12 linear alkanes as well as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and NOx as …
