Undiluted Measurement of the Particle Size Distribution of Different Oxygenated Biofuels in a Gasoline-Optimised DISI Engine
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of five different biofuel alternatives on particle emissions were evaluated and compared to gasoline and showed that the decreased volatility and energy density of the alcohols has a more significant impact on the particle formation in a DISI engine than the increased oxygen content of these fuels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal cracking of the large molecular alcohols in shale oil by experimental study and kinetic modelling
TL;DR: In this article , the fraction and species of the alcohols in shale oil from retorting oil shale were studied experimentally, and the detailed pyrolysis kinetic mechanisms of these two alcohols were written in a systematic manner by the GRI-Mech3.0 mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Comprehensive Experimental and Kinetic Study of Laminar Flame Characteristics of H2 and CO Addition to Oxygenated Gasoline
TL;DR: The FUELCOM (Fuel Combustion for Advanced Engines) project as mentioned in this paper is a collaborative research undertaking between Saudi Aramco and KAUST intended to address the fundamental aspects of hydrocarbon fuel combustion in engines and develop fuel/engine design tools suitable for advanced combustion modes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison and Analysis of Butanol Combustion Mechanisms
TL;DR: A detailed review of the performances of 24 butanol combustion mechanisms, published between 2008 and 2020, is given using a comprehensive experimental data collection (89,388 data points in 266 datasets from 32 publications) as discussed by the authors .
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of life cycle assessments (LCA) for mobility powertrains
TL;DR: In this article , the authors present a detailed summary of fuel-powertrain options that society will be dependent on, for the next several decades, and highlight the current inadequacies in application of LCA methods for transport systems, and the need to improve LCA methodologies to drive effective policy and decision making.

Mechanism and modeling of nitrogen chemistry in combustion
James A. Miller,Craig T. Bowman +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the mechanisms and rate parameters for the gas-phase reactions of nitrogen compounds that are applicable to combustion-generated air pollution are discussed and illustrated by comparison of results from detailed kinetics calculations with experimental data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental, economic, and energetic costs and benefits of biodiesel and ethanol biofuels
TL;DR: Transportation biofuels such as synfuel hydrocarbons or cellulosic ethanol, if produced from low-input biomass grown on agriculturally marginal land or from waste biomass, could provide much greater supplies and environmental benefits than food-basedBiofuels.
