TL;DR: A detailed overview of recent results on alcohol combustion can be found in this paper, with a particular emphasis on butanols and other linear and branched members of the alcohol family, from methanol to hexanols.

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive chemical kinetic model for all the four isomers of butanol (e.g., 1-, 2-, iso- and tert-butanol) is presented.

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the available experimental and chemical kinetic studies which have been performed to better understand the combustion properties of gasoline fuels and their surrogates can be found in this paper, where a detailed analysis is presented for the various classes of compounds used in formulating gasoline surrogate fuels, including n-paraffins, isoparaffin, olefins, naphthenes and aromatics.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of chemical composition on the fundamental ignition behavior of gasoline fuels are explored, and a key discovery is the kinetic coupling between aromatics and naphthenes, which affects the radical pool population and thereby controls ignition.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the ignition propensity of two alkane-rich FACE (Fuels for Advanced Combustion Engines) gasoline test fuels and their corresponding PRF blend in fundamental combustion experiments.
