Alcohols and other oxygenates in automotive fuels
… with those produced using pure Series F-7 fuels. From this a suggested RON of the blend was derived. RON increase was less when using a higher RON base fuel in the blend. Most individual oxygenates showed similar effects in similar concentrations when their oxygen content was comparable. …

Nitrogen-containing compounds from ammonia co-feed to the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis
… has been used predominantly for production of automotive fuels. This has made the financial benefit from the FT process heavily reliant on crude oil prices. Increasing the financial viability of the process has been achieved by improving production methods, production of alternative products …

The use of radiorespirometry for evaluation of subsurface biodegradation
Current use of alcohols as neat automotive fuels or as inexpensive octane enhancers in gasoline-alcohol blends, in addition to their uses as solvents and starting materials in manufacturing, have created a concern due to the increased potential for groundwater contamination. Adsorption and water …

Colorimetric sensor arrays with a pre-oxidation method for gaseous analytes
… discrimination of different brands and grades of automotive fuels and different ignitable liquid residues. Classification analysis reveals that the colorimetric sensor array has an extremely high dimensionality with the consequent ability to discriminate among a large number of similar gasoline …

The combustion and emissions performance of fuel blends in modern combustion systems
… and assessing the suitability of future automotive fuels. The combustion systems used in this study include Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) and Direct Injection Spark Ignition (DISI). By adding a small quantity (10%) of diesel to gasoline, the HCCI combustion of this …

Design and development of a custom dual fuel (hydrogen and gasoline) power system for an extended range electric vehicle architecture
… gasoline and diesel are the most widely used automotive fuels and are refined from crude oil which is a nonrenewable resource. When they are combusted in an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) they release significant amounts of air pollutants and Green House Gasses (GHG’s), such as NOx, CO2, …

Thermochemistry and kinetics in pyrolysis and oxidation reaction of oxygenate chlorocarbons, neopentane, and ortho-xylene
… are an important component of higher-octane automotive fuels and consequently they are present in emissions from incomplete combustion and other evaporation from solvents and fuels handling and storage. Oxidation reactions of ortho-xylene are studied to identify the important reaction …
