Chemical kinetics of octane sensitivity in a spark-ignition engine
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of electron delocalization on low temperature hydrocarbon reactivity and its role in determining octane sensitivity in engine fuel has been investigated for a very wide range of engine fuel types, including n-alkane, 1-olefin, n-alcohol, and nalkyl benzenes.

Abdul Gani AbdulJameel,Vincent C.O. van Oudenhoven,Vincent C.O. van Oudenhoven,Abdul-Hamid M. Emwas,S. Mani Sarathy +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a model to predict research octane number (RON) and motor octane numbers (MON) of pure hydrocarbons, hydrocarbon-ethanol blends, and gasoline ethanol blends has been developed using artificial neural networks (ANNs) and molecular parameters from 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.

Zhandong Wang,Lidong Zhang,Kai Moshammer,Denisia M. Popolan-Vaida,Denisia M. Popolan-Vaida,Vijai Shankar Bhavani Shankar,Arnas Lucassen,Christian Hemken,Craig A. Taatjes,Stephen R. Leone,Stephen R. Leone,Katharina Kohse-Höinghaus,Nils Hansen,Philippe Dagaut,S. Mani Sarathy +14 more
TL;DR: In this paper, experimental evidence for two new types of chain-branching reactions is presented, based upon detection of highly oxidized multifunctional molecules (HOM) formed during the gas-phase low-temperature oxidation of a branched alkane under conditions relevant to combustion.
