TLDR
In this paper, a systematic study has been carried out of the autoignition of a number of hydrocarbon fuels under engine-like conditions in a rapid compression machine, and the results confirm that there is a strong correlation between the performance of these fuels in engines and their auto-ignition properties measured in a Rapid Compression Machine (RCM).About:

Turbulence Modeling of Internal Combustion Engines Using RNG κ-ε Models
Z. Han,Rolf D. Reitz +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the RNG κ-e turbulence model derived by Yakhot and Orszag (1986) based on the Renormalization Group theory has been modified and applied to variable-density engine flows in the present study.

Compression-Ignited Homogeneous Charge Combustion
Paul M. Najt,David E. Foster +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a systematic study was carried out to evaluate the response of compression-ignited homogeneous charge (CIHC) combustion to changes in operating parameters with emphasis being placed on the phenomena involved rather than the detailed chemical kinetics.

Advanced models of fuel droplet heating and evaporation
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of finite thermal conductivity and recirculation in droplets can be taken into account using the so-called parabolic model, which is a reasonable compromise between accuracy and CPU efficiency.

Recent progress in the development of diesel surrogate fuels
TL;DR: There has been much recent progress in the area of surrogate fuels for diesel as discussed by the authors, however, major research gaps remain, and no detailed chemical kinetic models or experimental investigations are available for such compounds.

The cool flame combustion of hydrocarbons II—Propane and n-heptane
B.H. Bonner,C.F.H. Tipper +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the combustion of n -heptane and propane mixtures between 200° and 350°C was studied using a static system and different reaction vessel surfaces, the oxidation being followed by measuring pressure and temperature changes and by analysis.
