Petroleum-derived gasoline is currently the most widely used fuel for transportation
propulsion. The design and operation of gasoline fuels is governed by specific physical and …

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 …

At a first glance, ethanol, toluene and methyl tert-butyl ether look nothing alike with respect
to their molecular structures. Nevertheless, all share a similarly high octane number. A …

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

Machine learning algorithms are attracting significant interest for predicting complex
chemical phenomenon. In this work, a model to predict research octane number (RON) and …

Internal combustion engines running on liquid fuels will remain the dominant prime movers
for road and air transportation for decades, probably for most of this century. The world's …

The increasing demand for cleaner combustion and reduced greenhouse gas emissions
motivates research on the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels and their surrogates. Accurate …

Abstract Cyclic Ethers (CEs) belong to a class of compounds of importance to understand
the chemistry of both the engine auto-ignition of hydrocarbon fuels and the combustion of …

Gasoline octane number is a significant empirical parameter for the optimization and
development of internal combustion engines capable of resisting knock. Although extensive …

The ignition delay times of a research grade gasoline, RON95E10, are measured in a rapid
compression machine and in a shock tube. The experiments are carried out for fuel/O 2/Ar/N …
