Depletion of fossil fuel resources and stringent emission mandates has spurred the search
for improved diesel engines performance and cleaner combustion. One of the best …

Advanced low-temperature combustion concepts that rely on compression ignition have
placed new technological demands on the modeling of low-temperature oxidation in general …

Alcohols, such as butanol, are a class of molecules that have been proposed as a bio-
derived alternative or blending agent for conventional petroleum derived fuels. The …

Biofuels, such as bio‐ethanol, bio‐butanol, and biodiesel, are of increasing interest as
alternatives to petroleum‐based transportation fuels because they offer the long‐term …

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 …

This paper presents a review of gas-phase detailed kinetic models developed to simulate
the low-temperature oxidation and autoignition of gasoline and diesel fuel components …

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 …

Detailed chemical kinetic mechanisms were developed and used to study the oxidation of
two large unsaturated esters: methyl-5-decenoate and methyl-9-decenoate. These models …

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