TLDR
In this paper, a successful correlation is demonstrated which is based upon the gross parameters of a "hypothetical chemical reaction" for self-ignition of heated and compressed fuel-air mixtures.
Abstract
The self-ignition of heated and compressed fuelair mixtures has been the object of much study, particularly in recent years. As a consequence of this wide-spread interest, data have become available from a variety of different kinds of apparatus. It is the purpose of this article to examine some of the possible relationships between these several kinds of results. A successful correlation is demonstrated which is based upon the gross parameters of a hypothetical chemical reaction.

Knocking combustion in spark-ignition engines

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided deep insights into the processes occurring during knocking combustion in spark ignition engines, and future research directions, such as turbulence-shock-reaction interaction theory, detonation suppression and utilization, and super-knock solutions, are also discussed, including use of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), injection strategy, and the integration of a high tumble - high EGR-Atkinson/Miller cycle.

The Inhibiting Effect of Lead Tetraethyl. I. The Effect of Lead Compounds on the Vapour Phase Slow Oxidation of Diisopropyl Ether and on the Ignition of Diethyl Ether

TL;DR: The effect of lead tetraethyl on various pressure-temperature regions of ether combustion is described in this paper, where it is found that lead monoxide gives an inhibiting effect profound, persistent and in every way similar to that of lead triethyltetraethyl.
