Many practical soot-emitting combustion systems such as diesel and jet engines rely on
diffusion flames for efficient and reliable operation. Efforts to mitigate soot emissions from …

Biofuels have grabbed the attention of engine researchers ever since the oil-crisis and
escalating costs of petro-chemicals cropped up in the׳ 70s. Ethanol and methanol were the …

Alternative transportation fuels, preferably from renewable sources, include alcohols with up
to five or even more carbon atoms. They are considered promising because they can be …

The primary objective of the present endeavor is to collect, consolidate, and review the vast
amount of experimental data on the laminar flame speeds of hydrocarbon and oxygenated …

Alcohol fuels have some significant advantages over other alternative fuels, including the
ability to work in existing engines as well as the capability to reduce greenhouse gas …

Biofuels, such as bio‐ethanol, bio‐butanol, and biodiesel, are of increasing interest as
alternatives to petroleum‐based transportation fuels because they offer the long‐term …

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

High-pressure multi-hole injectors for direct-injection spark-ignition engines offer some great
benefits in terms of fuel atomisation, as well as flexibility in fuel targeting by selection of the …

A kinetic model is developed to describe combustion of isomers of butanol—n-butanol (n-
C4H9OH), sec-butanol (sec-C4H9OH), iso-butanol (iso-C4H9OH), and tert-butanol (tert …

The unimolecular reactions of hydroperoxy alkyl radicals (QOOH) play a central role in the
low-temperature oxidation of hydrocarbons as they compete with the addition of a second …
