It is generally accepted that the real petroleum fuels are composed of many various
hydrocarbon components. The various gasoline surrogate fuels are typically employed in …

Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is widely used in advanced internal combustion engines to
reduce engine emissions as well as control combustion phasing. Among various species …

Small concentrations of very reactive chemical species such as nitric oxide (NO) have a very
important impact on the onset of combustion. In engine applications, this may lead to …

Recent research on homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engines has
demonstrated that these engines can complement traditional compression-ignition engines …

The effect of applying the exhaust gas recirculation technique on the performance of a free-
piston engine, including the resulting emissions, is introduced and assessed in this study …

This paper investigates the impact of nitric oxide (NO) on n-heptane ignition in a rapid
compression machine (RCM). The ignition delays of stoichiometric mixtures of n-heptane …

NO x in the exhaust gas can influence the auto-ignition properties, thus are important for the
design and operation of HCCI engines and predicting engine knock in spark ignition …

Abstract Low-temperature (low-T) oxidation experiments of n-heptane–with and without NO
addition–were experimentally and numerically investigated at stoichiometric conditions in a …

In this work, a chemical kinetic model describing the nitric oxide (NO) sensitization effect for
the oxidation of toluene reference fuels has been developed. The influence of NO on …

Nitric oxide (NO) is a trace species that is always present in reciprocating engines, and can
significantly affect fuel autoignition. This work presents a systematic investigation of the …
