Advanced Biofuels and Beyond: Chemistry Solutions for Propulsion and Production.
TL;DR: It will be demonstrated that a fundamental understanding of the combustion process can be instrumental to derive design criteria for the molecular structure of fuel candidates, which can then be targets for the analysis of synthetic pathways and the development of catalytic production routes.

Comparison of Low Temperature Combustion Strategies for Advanced Compression Ignition Engines with a Focus on Controllability
TL;DR: In this paper, various low temperature combustion strategies were investigated using single cylinder engine experiments and the focus of the study was to compare engine performance and emissions, combustion sensitivity to intake conditions, and the ability to control any observed sensitivity through the fuel injection strategy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progress and recent trends in reactivity-controlled compression ignition engines:
TL;DR: Low-temperature combustion is an emerging engine technology that has the ability to yield low NOx and soot emissions while maintaining high fuel efficiency as discussed by the authors, and it has been shown that low temperature combustion strategies can reduce SOI and NOx emissions.

Fuel reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI): a pathway to controlled high-efficiency clean combustion
TL;DR: In this article, a fuel reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) concept is demonstrated as a promising method to achieve high efficiency, which is demonstrated in a heavy-duty test engine over a range of loads.

Oxidation of carbon between 1000–2000°c
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the pyro graphite reaction curve reaches a maximum at a temperature of about 1100°C, which is 600°C less than the temperature at which the maximum rate with pyrographite at a pressure of 0.2 atm was observed, and the theory of Blyholder, Binford and Eyring, slightly modified, was shown satisfactorily for this difference between low and high pressure results.
