The Influence of n-Butanol Blending on the Ignition Delay Times of Gasoline and Its Surrogate at High Pressures
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of blending n-butanol at 20% by volume on the ignition delay times for a reference gasoline was studied in a rapid compression machine (RCM) for stoichiometric fuel/air mixtures at 20 bar and 678-858 K.

Reactive force field simulation studies on the combustion behavior of n-octanol
Anand Bharti,Tamal Banerjee +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a ReaxFF MD simulation of n -octanol has been carried out at temperatures from 2000 to 4000 K with equivalence ratios ranging from 0.5 to 2.0.

Multi-fuel surrogate chemical kinetic mechanisms for real world applications.
TL;DR: The recent emergence of very large, multi-fuel surrogate kinetic mechanisms that can address many different fuel types and real engine applications is discussed as a modern analytical tool that can be used for a wide variety of practical applications.

Influence of the biofuel isomers diethyl ether and n-butanol on flame structure and pollutant formation in premixed n-butane flames
Luc-Sy Tran,Julia Pieper,Meirong Zeng,Meirong Zeng,Yuyang Li,Xiaoyuan Zhang,Wei Li,Isabelle Graf,Fei Qi,Katharina Kohse-Höinghaus +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, a kinetic model was established by combining different sub-mechanisms for these fuels available in the literature, and the higher ability of n -butane to form soot precursors compared to DEE indeed results mainly from the differences in the fuel structure.
Rate constants for hydrogen abstraction reactions by the hydroperoxyl radical from methanol, ethenol, acetaldehyde, toluene and phenol
TL;DR: In this paper, reaction rate constants for H abstraction by H02 from the weakest H bond in methanol, ethenol, acetaldehyde, toluene and phenol were derived in the simple Arrhenius form.

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.

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.
