Abstract The Co-Optimization of Fuels and Engines (Co-Optima) initiative from the US
Department of Energy aims to co-develop fuels and engines in an effort to maximize energy …

Modern spark ignition engines mostly use one injection system to deliver gasoline into the
combustion chamber, using either direct injection or port fuel injection. Both technologies …

The utilization of spark induced compression ignition (SICI) is a proven method to extend the
operation load range, improve thermal efficiency as well as ensure robust control of the …

The octane sensitivity (S), defined as the difference between the Research Octane Number
(RON) and the Motor Octane Number (MON), is of increasing interest in spark ignition (SI) …

Light-duty vehicles (LDVs) in the United States and elsewhere are required to meet
increasingly challenging regulations on fuel economy and greenhouse gas (GHG) …

Fuels and fuel additives from furfural derivatives via etherification are reviewed.
Etherification is classified into two methods such as reductive etherification and direct …

Identifying a sustainable, practical and low-emission energy supply for modern
transportation has always been a challenge for energy and automotive researchers. While …

This paper provides an overview of the effects of blending ethanol with gasoline for use in
spark ignition engines. The overview is written from the perspective of considering a future …

An experimental engine efficiency study was conducted that explores the effects of direct
injected fuel properties on gross thermal efficiency and operational authority as functions of …

Methylfuran (MF) has become very attractive due to the recent breakthrough in its production
method using the process of dehydration and hydrogenolysis of fructose. MF–gasoline …
