The call for the use of biofuels which is being made by most governments following
international energy policies is presently finding some resistance from car and components …

There has been much recent progress in the area of surrogate fuels for diesel. In the last few
years, experiments and modeling have been performed on higher molecular weight …

This work presents an updated experimental and kinetic modeling study of n-heptane
oxidation. In the experiments, ignition delay times of stoichiometric n-heptane/air mixtures …

A detailed chemical kinetic mechanism has been developed and used to study the oxidation
of methyl decanoate, a surrogate for biodiesel fuels. This model has been built by following …

The use of biodiesel is rapidly expanding around the world, making it imperative to fully
understand the impacts of biodiesel on the diesel combustion process, pollutant formation …

A detailed chemical kinetic reaction mechanism is developed for the five major components
of soy biodiesel and rapeseed biodiesel fuels. These components, methyl stearate, methyl …

The motivation for and challenges in reducing the world's dependence on crude oil while
simultaneously improving engine performance through better fuel efficiency and reduced …

Oxygenated additives are known to reduce soot formation in diesel engines. Numerous
studies, both experimental and numerical, have reported that the reduction of particulate …

The low-temperature oxidation of n-heptane, one of the reference species for the octane
rating of gasoline, was investigated using a jet-stirred reactor and two methods of analysis …

Burgeoning global demand for energy has increased concerns about the fuel security issues
and deleterious environmental impacts that result from the ubiquitous use of fossil fuels to …
