A new method of using chemical kinetic reaction modeling to predict the Research Octane Number (RON) and Motor Octane Number (MON) of single component fuels and fuel …
Gasoline engines have an even greater potential for optimization. New fuels composition should be corresponded with modern engine technologies requirements. One of these …
Continued economic growth is accelerating the demand for transport energy in the road, aviation, and marine sectors. The environmental impacts of technologies across these …
Decades of work on low-carbon fuels have established their potential for substantial emissions reductions; however, their adoption is still limited by infrastructure concerns and …
This work describes the first documented case of an effect defined herein as “octane hyperboosting” by an oxygenated fuel compound, 3-methyl-2-buten-1-ol (prenol). Octane …
Utilizing kinetic simulations with the Co-Optimization of Fuels & Engines (Co-Optima) mechanism, the research octane number (RON) of various synergistic blendstocks at …
This paper describes a method for estimating region-specific real-world light-duty vehicle fuel economy in the United States that is unique in both the size and representativeness of …
