This work presents a detailed analysis of the production design and economics of the
cellulosic isobutanol conversion processes and compares cellulosic isobutanol with cellulosic …

A single-cylinder, wall-guided, spark ignition direct injection engine was used to study the
impact of engine operating parameters on engine-out particle number (PN) emissions. …

Development of advanced compression ignition and low-temperature combustion engines
is increasingly dependent on chemical kinetic ignition models. However, rigorous …

The latent heat-of-vaporization (HoV) of blends of biofuel and hydrocarbon components into
gasolines has recently experienced expanded interest because of the potential for …

Particulate matter emissions negatively affect public health and global climate, yet newer
fuel-efficient gasoline direct injection engines tend to produce more soot than their port-fuel …

Direct measurements of intermediates of ignition are challenging experimental objectives,
yet such measurements are critical for understanding fuel decomposition and oxidation …

The negative temperature coefficient (NTC) region of alkane autoignition was observed for
the first time in the Ignition Quality Tester (IQT). The C 7 isomers studied included n-heptane, 3…

Advanced combustion engine strategies that can offer increased efficiency and reduced
emissions are enabled by numerical engine combustion simulations, requiring accurate …

In this work, the influences of ethanol and iso-butanol blended with gasoline on engine-out
and post three-way catalyst (TWC) particle size distribution and number concentration were …

This paper presents experimental measurements of ignition delays from low- to high-volatility
n-alkanes representative of diesel and jet fuel compounds that are supplemented with a …
