Autoignition characteristics of RP-3 kerosene were investigated using a heated rapid
compression machine and a heated shock tube over a wide range of conditions. Ignition …

Ammonia has attracted much attention because of its carbon-free nature. Ammonia also has
a high research octane number (RON), making it a promising anti-knock additive for …

Ammonia is carbon-free and thus is a promising renewable fuel for carbon neutrality.
However, because ammonia has low reactivity and narrow flammability range, blended fuels …

In this study, the spray ignition characteristics of conventional aviation fuels (JP-5 and Jet-
A1) and hydro-processed renewable jet fuel (HRJ) were investigated in a constant volume …

Sensitivity analysis of the ignition delay time and species profiles to kinetic parameters has
been widely used to identify the rate-limiting steps during the autoignition process, providing …

Strict regulations on fuel economy are driving modern gasoline engines to adopt more
advanced technologies to improve thermal efficiency. Some of the technologies, for example …

Forward propagation of kinetic uncertainty in combustion simulations usually adopts
response surface techniques to accelerate Monte Carlo sampling. Yet it is computationally …

The combustion characteristics of jet fuels, including conventional (Jet-A1 and JP-5) and
renewable (hydro-processed renewable jet, HRJ) jet fuels at low-to-intermediate …

New ignition delay times (IDTs) of binary methylcyclohexane (MCH)/ethanol fuels were
provided by using a rapid compression machine. Results show that MCH exhibits typical …

There is significant interest in using pilot fuel as a source of ignition for enhancing the
performance of natural gas engines. In this work, ignition of methane/n-heptane fuel blends …
