Autoignition characteristics of oxygenated gasolines
Lee, Changyoul; Ahmed, Ahfaz; Nasir, Ehson F.; Badra, Jihad; Kalghatgi, Gautam; Sarathy, S. Mani; Curran, Henry J.; Farooq, Aamir (Elsevier, 2017-08-14)Gasoline anti-knock quality, defined by the research and motor octane numbers (RON and MON), is important for increasing spark ignition (SI) engine efficiency. Gasoline knock resistance can be increased using a number of ... -
Small ester combustion chemistry: Computational kinetics and experimental study of methyl acetate and ethyl acetate
Ahmed, Ahfaz; Pitz, William J.; Cavallotti, Carlo; Mehl, Marco; Lokachari, Nitin; Nilsson, Elna J. K.; Wang, Jui-Yang; Konnov, Alexander A.; Wagnon, Scott W.; Chen, Bingjie; Wang, Zhandong; Kim, Seonah; Curran, Henry J.; Klippenstein, Stephen J.; Roberts, William L.; Sarathy, S. Mani (Elsevier, 2018-07-17)Small esters represent an important class of high octane biofuels for advanced spark ignition engines. They qualify for stringent fuel screening standards and could be synthesized through various pathways. In this work, ...
