A novel assessment of the role of the methyl radical and water formation channel in the CH3OH + H reaction
TL;DR: First-principles Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics thermalized at two significant temperatures and a high-level deformed-transition state theory (d-TST) is shown to be suitable for describing the overall rate constant for the CH3OH + H reaction with the precision required for practical applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spray characteristics of gasoline/PODE and diesel/PODE blends in a constant volume chamber
TL;DR: In this paper, the spray characteristics of gasoline/PODE and diesel-PODE blends under different injection pressures and ambient pressures were investigated in a constant volume chamber under both non-evaporating and evaporating conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Autoignition response of n-butanol and its blends with primary reference fuel constituents of gasoline
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of blending n-butanol on the ignition delay times of n-heptane and iso-octane, the primary reference fuels for gasoline, was investigated.

The role of combustion science and technology in low and zero impact energy transformation processes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the thermochemical utilisation of chemical energy carriers is an important component of future energy systems and is key to enabling climate neutrality, and they advocate for competition between all technological solutions to reach the goals in the best possible way and to consider feasibility, ease of transition, and economical and societal aspects.
